  Model Team Decline
 
I've just spent a little time checking the history of Model Team (what else would you do at 1am?).

  Re: 5580 extra pieces
 
(...) Interesting - I got a couple of 5563s in a sale recently and they both had some substantial extra bits too, including an extra door! (...) Likewise, being a fan of mechanical function I was a lot more impressed than I thought I would be. I (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.modelteam)
 
  5580 extra pieces
 
Hi all, recently found a 5580 and built it straight away. There seem to be quite a few extra pieces. I've looked at the pictures for the second model (too ugly to waste any time building it) and it doesn't seem to need them. I'm used to getting a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.modelteam)
 
  Re: Fairytale - True!
 
If only they would have accepted my bank card....... I was limited by what was in my pocket. Besides, I don't do town or trains, so there's a whole treasure left....

  Re: Fairytale - True!
 
(...) That would be great, except my knowledge of German isn't that great... was there a lot of classic town sets? I was interested in getting some of the more "antique" sets that came out before town junior (pre-1997).

  64 1/2 Ford Mustang Convertible
 
Here's the link to a 64 1/2 Ford Mustang Convertible I made a few weeks ago. It's been up at Brickshelf for a while, but I just got around to posting it here. It's my first (and only, as of now) attempt at building a car. Enjoy, and LMKWYT. link: (...)

  Fairytale - True!
 
Fairytales still happen! This week I was in Germany for my holidays. We were driving through this tiny town in the Mosel area when from the corner of my eye I spotted some old sets in a shop window. Stopped the car, asked my better half for (...) (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.modelteam)
 
  8 wide '69 Dodge Charger
 
I couldn't resist :) Once I had an idea for the front grill, I couldn't leave it at that, so I finished the car instead of working on my spaceliner. As always, please LMKWYT! Please rate the model and let me know if there are some other views you (...) (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.general, lugnet.announce, lugnet.modelteam) !!
