| (...) That's me. I've got diddly squat for display area, so the vast majority of what I build (especially big stuff) comes apart when I'm done. Currently built is... umm... James Jesiman Memorial Park, and the watertower behind it. (URL) my Colonial (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

I cannibalize models when I need the parts, until at some point my models get too dusty (ie, up to two years :P). Then I tear them (...)

| Good question! (...) You left out: Build, copy with improvements using another set of pieces, cycle till you are happy, then keep the final iteration together "indefinitely" That's me.

| I guess I fall into the "Build, photograph and tear down to build anew" category. Putting ones MOCs into .DAT file format greatly eases the heartbreak of having to destroy ones models for future creations. Or so I think... ;-) (...)

| After looking once more at Dan Jassim's latest minifig carrier, a question came to mind I wanted to ask him but it could also be posed to everyone. Just to satisfy my curiousity, of course. :) (To Dan) Did you have to tear down your original carrier (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

Once the base database is larger, I could interface it with the public set lists from lugnet (why keep the data twice?), and you'd be able to type in your member number, and total up your pieces... or even do a limited search, (...)

| With the slow trickle of Bulk Items, I wouldn't mind if Lego Direct came out with "parts pack" type bulk items where (for example) you had all 3 types of steep sloped bricks (1x2x3, 2x2x3, 2x2x3 corner) in a specific color set, or say inside/outside (...)

I didn't realize that LUGNET had them rendered in all those colours. Anyways, just for the record this is (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

I combined many elements from my first carrier (the baseplates, BURPS, castle walls) but tried to match the same feel of the microfig carrier. The (...)
