(...) Thanks! 2-wide bunks bug me too. Minifigs are bigger than that, and if you're building to a 1 stud/foot scale (as I do), 2 studs = 2 feet = a very narrow bed. Mine are actually 3 studs wide, which seems about right. I doubt there will be any (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

Hi Everyone, I liked Paul's shuttle so much I made a Business Shuttle variant. Post Mod: (URL) Pre Mod: (URL) There isn't much that's different. Mainly the colors and the seating inside.

Hey all I'm almost done with my latest MOC, but I'm having trouble because of a relatively small grey piece supply. First, this is a space destroyer, maybe not a "cap ship" by some standards, but ~92 studs long. The shape is kinda boxy, and I'm (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
