 | | IR train base alternative
|
| Hey all, Well I’m at it again. This time I bring you something with more usability. As most of you reading this should know the Lego Company recently released 2 IR train sets. While the idea is great, the implementation left much to be desired. The (...)

| | | | | Part Mods - Baseplates and Technic parts
|
| A few part mods for the brave: I decided that buying 32x32 baseplates and cutting them in two was cheaper than buying twice as many 16x32 baseplates. The question is how to make a reliable straight cut. I've used 4x8 plates for rigidity and slider (...)

| (...) Excellent idea Richie. I plan on opening my MISB 6702 and modding all the helmets in there. Do you by any chance have a mod to do something useful with the original airpacks and classic space torsos? Tim (19 years ago, 24-Feb-06, to lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)
| | | | | Modifed Classic Space helmet for town use.
|
| Way back in 1979, I was worried about the possible replacement of the Legoland town stuff that I loved with the newcomer, Legoland Space. Sure it was nice to get lots of grey, but, at the time, I was convinced there were too many specialised parts. (...) (19 years ago, 24-Feb-06, to lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX) !

| (...) No comment ;) (...) That's a very neat mod, well done! (...) Well (URL) that element> isn't really new, but the Cranky set looks pretty cool too. I think some of my friends' kids might be getting those sets when we finally see them here. ROSCO (19 years ago, 2-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)
