Hello,
After way to much ranting, I decided to take some of Spencer R’s advice and
work on some building. While I do have a new building that I am working on
(and several bricklink sellers know that it is full of tan and technic gears)
this note isn’t about that.
I have been neglecting the writeup of my previous building for far too long.
I built Tech Tower for my wife, Valerie, a GT alum. (Ok, I built it so I
could have a Lego model that she could appreciate rather than complain about.
The Lego Star Destroyer hanging from the ceiling in our living room just
wasn’t her style.)
Anyway, without further ado, I would like to present Tech Tower from the
Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA. It has appeared now in
MichLUG and NELUG shows, and will soon be travelling to Brickfest2004.
Full write up is here: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/4385

Also of note, this building (as all my buildings so far) has been designed
using Ldraw (MLCAD to be precise), and built from the design. The reasoning
was twofold: - no real place to keep a model and its associated pile of
building materials in my house (especially with a then two year old running
around) - I just didn’t have the parts, and I didn’t want to spend money on
the parts, if I didn’t need them. So, I used MLCAD to generate a parts list
and bought the list off of bricklink!
Let me know what you think! Go Jackets! :)

I love it (being an alumni myself)
Missing ‘T’ and all.
Maybe you should leave the ‘T’ on and wait for an alumni/Lego guy to take it
off. Just like the real thing.
Maybe you can hook up an (mindspring) alarm to it. Just like the real thing.
Maybe it will not work. Just like the real thing.
