My main Brickshelf gallery isn't moderated just yet but (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.us.michlug, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town) !!

| | | | | (...) look forward to a chance to see this in person. Bronson park in the 1920's would be pretty interesting. Heck maybe the whole club could do a 20's era layout or section of a layout. It would be fun. -Jason +---...---+ Jason Spears MichLUG - (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | David, That's beautiful! You really capture the look of the original building. I have a question for you or anyone else who's built buildings on this scale--what do you put on the inside? The roof seems like it would be pretty sturdy, but do you (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | | (...) I really enjoy looking at the pic's of the train shows and pic's of buildings like this when they are posted. Even from afar (ie: not in person), I can see the growth in the individual builders. I'm sure all these things look spectacular in (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.town)

| | | | The building looks great. I really like the use of the Grey figure from Harry Potter on the top of the tower. The overall detail is fantastic. You have really caught the look of the building and brought it to life. Great Job!! Can't wait to see what (...) (22 years ago, 1-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)
