Jake, has Tomas showed you his desktop wallpaper? :) The old Fabuland set with an elephant and a wheelbarrow, and the alternate model is the elephant holding the wheelbarrow while the wheelbarrow is standing on end - the elephant (...)

| (...) Old alternate images used to suggest ways to build other things with the set pieces; Star Wars "alternates" only show ways to deconstuct the set. I will say, however, that the alternate models at the end of some of the larger set instructions (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

| (...) What alternative images? Other than Star Wars and Technic, it doesn't seem like any sets have alternate models any more. And the Star Wars alternates seem invariably ... umm ... goofy. Steve (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Yup, that's Maestro Fujita's work... he did some amazing stuff, and most of it was completed before TLG's official sets. It's good to know that his work got into a magazine... though not really suprising. The link does not have an exclamation, (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.books)

| (...) Point taken, but I will also trust the time I've spent observing my kids build sets by the instructions. The other color parts HELP that process. Personally I'd rather that they used wilder colors (why, in a grey model, use a blue 2x2 spotter (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

| I have often criticized the past several years of set designs in vague terms such as "poor design values". I think I've finally found the words to clarify exactly what I don't like. Current set designs, with the notable exception of the Star Wars (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
| | | | | Endor Shield Generator
|
| I came up with a model for the Endor Shield generator. Actually this is probably not the structure that actually generates the shield, but it the one that Luke gave himself up to Vader in. In my model the platform on top is large enough to allow two (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build.arch)

We're all aware (and some of us are great fans) of competitors in the construction toy market, at least one of which has made great strides (...)

| (...) I have to agree with James wholeheartedly, on pretty much every point he makes. Were some of the alternate models on old sets difficult to make? Yes, but that was part of their appeal! It was a challenge! It felt great to show the picture and (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
