Hi all Just got confirmation from Suz of my invitation to their (Todd & Suz) wedding! Dunno if any other Australian AFOLs are going, but was wondering if any Oz LUGs want to do a LegOz gift or something for them? I'll be giving them something (...)

(...) 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 (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)

A pair of Stubby-Holders entirely built from Lego. What finer gift could any newly-weds want? Kerry (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)

What they really need is probably ye-olde-wedding-presents: sheets, towels, and toasters :-) I think we should send them an Australian toaster. Should provide them with hours of (...)

Ahh, I have it this time. We get one of those "snow domes" with the Opera House or Ayers Rock (or both!) and open it up (caution, children, don't try this at home), insert a couple of singlet-wearing Bruce and Sheila minifigs, and reseal it.

Or how about indigenous Australian art? You know, the pictures of kangaroos or patterns all made from dots. Only our dots would all have "Lego" written on them like studs do. I fear this is a job for Kev though :-) Gosh, I just love weddings. Kerry (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) That's an idea. Would there be any problem getting it thru US customs? And does anyone have one of those Vegemite mugs they're currently offering (I don't eat enough VM to get three tokens yet...)? Then even if they hate the paste, they can (...)

(...) Similar idea without the tokens--I spotted some happy little vegemite filled tumblers (like the nutella ones) the other day. There must be Vegemite teatowels and so forth readily avialable at gift shops. I'm still keen on the MOC idea, but I (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) I can give this a burl -- probably don't need the instructions. Where do you fit the roll-bar? Do people think that a traditional 4-wide car is okay, or would a 6 or 8 wide be better? I'm leaning toward the 8-wide option myself -- they can (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) 4-wide is more in the Classic LEGO style, but as Ross says the side-by-side effect is pretty desirable. Maybe something in 6-wide using half-stud offsets like the SW Landspeeder, although that makes it trickier to use the old mudguards etc. (...)
