(...) Hi Mark, not sure what LEGO flex tubes are made of, but I've had good results with 1/8" polystyrene model makers tubing which comes in 24" lengths in most hobby shops. It's white, so you can paint it to the colour you want. It's slightly less (...) (19 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.events.brickfest)

It seems that only the US is currently big enough to attract enough attention from TLG. I'm also trying to (...) (19 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) I'm not that big a fan of head to head competition. I think that every person who brings a MOC is a winner, as are those who don't.

(...) Hi Kevin I recommend you to go to Peeron Instruction Library ((URL)) and check models 8207, 8216, 8225, 8808 and 8816. These are some simple models you can build, and there are a lot more models over there that you can also use. Hope this (...) (19 years ago, 15-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
