A pair of Stubby-Holders entirely built from Lego. What finer gift could any newly-weds want? Kerry (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) I think that would be great -- maybe a collectively designed Oz-themed MOC, along the lines of the "New Outback" series we were talking about a few weeks ago? A contingent of minifig-rendered locals would be cool too. --Dave (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)

Well, you could always build your own!! Wouldnt be too hard - could use hinges to get a shallow slope, and plates / tiles between the rails. Could have a custom barrier / lights arrangement too!!
