    Factory building —Jonathan Dallas
   I've finally finished my factory building. That is if it is ever truely possible to finish a lego model. (URL) need some help in designing crates or large boxes to replace the barrels that I used. I was imagining this factory as a place were legos (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
   
        Re: Factory building —Eric Sophie
     Very nice, I like the black sidewalk, one question, why did you use the white windows backwards?, were you trying to achive a window sill effect? (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
    
         Re: Factory building —Jonathan Dallas
     (...) If it looks like a window sill effect, then that must be what I was thinking. Actually, I wanted to use the white windows in a 2x2 fashion to get the effect of small panes of glass, but when I tried them the right way around it just looked (...)

     (...) buildings on the other side of the street from the factory and he has sidewalks as well. It's just nice to corrdinate that before the show if possible. Last show we just moved tiles around to make things work and thats OK but it takes a bit of (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

   (...) What about the actual LEGO minifig crate? It's the top left-hand element in this parts pack: (URL) got quite a few of them, probably enough to convincingly fill a loading dock. eric (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

   (...) the covers they would be better than the barrels. (...) Good to know since my collection has been neglected for the past 7 years. I guess that part was introduced during my dark age. How big are they? (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
   
        Re: Factory building —Eric Joslin
     (...) I think you can make a cover for them with 2 2x3 plates. I'll doublecheck. (...) They're 3x4, believe it or not. I don't think you can cram 3x4 studs worth of brick into them, though- that's an external measure. I meant to mention before, I (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
    
         Re: Factory building —Jonathan Dallas
     (...) That's okay, most of them will be empty. I'll just have one or two that are open. (...) Hadn't thought too much about putting the a 'lego' brick on the building. I think a 1x2 with the name lego on it would work near the door. I think I have (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
    
         Re: Factory building —Jonathan Dallas
     (...) I found an unopened set with a crate in it. The crates are going to be too large. I instead made some 2x2x2 yellow boxes. I even found a delivery van with a picture of the boxes on its side. (URL) thanks for the offer, but I'm fine now. (...) (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
   
        Re: Factory building —David Eaton
   (...) Yep, you can use 2 2x3 brown plates to cover them pretty well... (...) 4x3 base and... uh... 4 plates tall? So 5 plates tall with the covers on them? They also stack very neatly on top of one another... And like Eric, I've got scads of (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
