John, I absolutely love your Swiss Villa. I'm a big fan of the classic stuff and your adaptation is beautiful. Nice details on the Police Station and Freight Station. I think you should be the "Detail Man". I took the opportunity to peruse your (...) (20 years ago, 28-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)

Hi folks! IndyLUG is preparing a layout for the October GATS that has a lot of new stuff. So I'm posting the MOCs I've created so far for the layout on Brickshelf, with more to come. The main MOC is the courthouse I first showed at Brickfest 2004: (...) (20 years ago, 28-Sep-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.org.us.indylug)

(...) I think it would be great to get a badge. They didn't have them at Brickfest when I went in 2001, so I don't have one yet. Someone should ask about the club discount and maybe we could put an order together in a week or so. -L (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, FTX)

Well, I guess we really didn't "sweep" the awards; there were plenty of other people from other LUG's who received awards too, but in comparisson to the number of IndyLUG members who were at Brickfest, we did very well. John Kyle won 2 awards in 2 (...) (20 years ago, 17-Aug-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, FTX)
