It's built of mostly axles and axle connectors of various sorts. I think he
wanted to use Technic beams, but didn't have enough.

This is only our 3rd big TEXLUG meeting. We've had two this year, so I think
we'll try to have regular spring and fall meetings.

Steve was quite a surprize. He emailed me right before the last meeting, and
said he wanted to come. No one else in our group builds stuff like he and I do.

I don't know if there are any model shows here like the ones you attend. But
I haven't really looked. The only other thing I've been to is Brickfest.

I haven't done much building since this summer. A lot of things have been
going on in my life that have prevented me spending quality time with my
bricks. I'm trying though. I have a major project coming up, and I think you
know what I'm talking about ;-) So tell Jan van Wees not to dispair.

No, but he did say last time that he might have time to build this fall. We
might hear from him soon
