Hi all,
> * Robin built a structure worthy of front box freestyle promotion.
Ha ha!! I like your style, Xandria. Always trying to find the
positive, to build up. But I have to set the record straight here.
The "thing" that I built just plain didn't work. I had it pictured in
my head, and just couldn't get it out. Perhaps what Xandria should
have said is "Robin built a ... er ... structure that took us all back
to what we were putting together at the tender age of 5".
Thanks, Xandria. Best laugh I've had all morning! ;-)

This creation, OTOH, was a true thing of beauty. Excellent use of
colour, minimalistic, yet with lots of interesting "bits" to hold the
interest of the appreciative viewer. Top notch, Xandria!

Actually, to be precise, an F-15 Eagle, and it should be mentioned
that it was approximately UCS scale!!! That's "Ultimate Collector
Series" scale, which would put the plane at about 2 1/2 to 3 feet
long. It was all white (well, yellow, as it was built in '89), with
working landing gear and under wing stores. Extremely cool.
Mark also brought another semi truck tractor, a la Black Cat. Working
steering, opening doors, cabinets, tool storage, etc. A true mico
engineering feat!

Don't forget David's latest catapult. They're getting better all the
time.

We can only hope ;-)
I really liked having the pool of club lego. It was great fun just
sitting and building together, pawing through the same great pile of
pieces.

| (...) Heh. I know the feeling; There have been many times when I thought I worked out something in my head but when I got to build it, I end up with "Darn, I didn't realize that part would be in the way". That's why I just furrow my eyebrows when I (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
