Rick & All, (...) Good idea! It all started when I suggested hauling a U-Haul trailer, along with MichLUG passengers to the next Brickfest. I am toying with getting out own trailer, and I suggesting getting a big MichLUG painting on the side of it. (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

I am totally clueless on this entire debate about a trailer, BUT if we do get one, how about detail work on it to make it look like half of it was made from jumbo sized Lego bricks. My mom came up with that one ;). Rick (25 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

To All, Well, I got my last order (hopefully) of black tiles for my Shell Station. It will be complete, finally. It is done outside of that. I still need to get it to the show somehow, I am thinking of wood and separate containers for each of the (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Peter & All, (...) What in the world are you thinking? Wasting precious bricks on a TRAILER?!?! Better use would be module tables or something! Or a larger Shell Station, or a donation to Scott's Brick Funds. ; ) Scott S. -- (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) What the heck are you thinking? If you want a trailer, you BUILD IT OUT OF LEGO! Should be sturdy enough... just look out for potholes. (Do they make 6' long technic axles yet???) If we all chip in a couple dozen tubs we should have enough (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

To All, (...) Right. I might consider getting one, once certain debts are paid off, my lasting contribute to MichLUG. : ) We can paint a big logo on the side or something. How much do trailers go for, anyway? 8,000? I have no clue. Future (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) One thing that's not apparent from the pictures is that the hinge arrangement locks the landing gear from rotating -- it can only extend and retract. Which is not something you'd notice from just looking at it; you have to play with it to tell (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) <snip> Yes, those are quite nice. I used the same parts for the 'gear on my Space Police Viper. I do like the ones in the pictures, however, because they use the parts in two directions, which would give the ship a bit more stability than just (...)

Chris & All, Got home early today Chris? : ) (...) Indeed. I can drive up to 6 comfortably, and we can strap stuff up to the top, and tow a U-Haul.

Here are some picture links: (3 URLs) Unfortunately, they're all detail shots, and the ship is upside down. The basic idea is to put together (...)
