Hi there, this is the first post on Lugnet, so I hope things work. I built an 1/15th or so scale 8 x 8 Radio Controled Airport Rescue Fire Fighting truck (ARFF) which some of you may have seen posted on Brickshelf. It is BIG and Very Heavy, but it (...)

(...) Well said.. ZNAP scales up much easier than traditional LEGO System. The connectors are stronger for larger items (and bruised fingers trying to get them apart sometimes). (...) Nice work Ross ! Ray (20 years ago, 26-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) It is probably because pre-technic Lego constructions fall apart as soon as you apply a little force. They'd probably rather play with Fischer Technik, that was the stuff to do serious technical constructions at the time. (...) No, Lego (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic)

Have you seen these? At some of the pictures it's like I'm watching to my own models but the Menck and Liebherr bull dozer are great models. Nice to see another large scale modeller. (2 URLs) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!

(...) One reason that the boxes are too big is that technic parts overall have gotten smaller, which means that more pieces fit in a smaller area. The actual amount of pieces in each set has increased since almost all technic sets are studless. I (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

Keith, I know. I buy 90% of my parts from all over the world. My whole point of the my post was just to show how we must pay high international costs to get what we want because items are not readily availible to us. I meant my post as more of a (...)

While Lego may be torturing Lego enthusiasts, they are helping out the internet hurting postal workers by making all of us pay high international postal rates to get the sets that are not availible to us.
