(...) (SNIP) Oops! I forgot to post the jpg links rather than the item links, since it's a while since I posted stuff! That's what comes of doing too many exhibitions!

(...) I've seen the white "Plastruct" tubing at model railway shows and in hobby shops, but it costs 35p for about 12", which is too short and too expensive (considering my 5.5p/piece average Lego price, including railway stuff), even when bought in (...)

(...) 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)

(...) Many people shy away from "competition". I'm pretty sure Kevin is always trying to make the best creations he can. Not because he wants to be better than you or me, but he just loves making cool stuff. Actually, Kevin's not a good competitor. (...)

(...) 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)
