I just want to express my appreciation to MichLUG for proving to SF fen that LEGO really is still cool, even at our ages. I'm from Columbus (and a sort-of member of BLOC), I was at Contraption for the first time and stopped in the LEGO room several (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) "WMD"? Oh, Weapon of Mass Destruction. Who's going to build the MX train car? Seriously, is there any room on the layout for a missile silo? Steve (25 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Well, that would be more interesting (both to builders and viewers) than a simple circle. The cover could be build from 1x bricks & slopes, laid flat. Put some rail plates along the edge, and some 1x4 grooved bricks on the 'concrete' pad. (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Lindsay, (...) Yes, I love it!!!! It reminds me of Armegeddon! Where in the world did you get a 4 stud cone top? I never saw one of those before! "Please get off the nuclear missile!" Scott (25 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) That is a wonderful idea. WHat else can you build when your entire collection of white is in one building (hanger). I am going to do that. I was told the Sub may get weeded out, but I want to do some sort of WMD. RIck (25 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) I thought that missile silo covers are actually sort of hexagonal, on a square patch of concrete, and they "slide" horizontally off the top of the silo. That may, of course, only be for certain weapons or certain generations of weapons, but (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
