        Re: Feedback on the Airtech Claw Rig (8868) —Jennifer Clark
   These days, if I see an official Lego model that looks great or appears to work well, my inclination is to download the instructions from Brickshelf and build it from my existing parts. Sometimes one has to improvise a bit, or resort to cunning use (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

      (...) Well, I haven't tried it, but if I were to, I'd go for a gentle/delicates cycle, cold water for wash and rinse, no extra spin, and use dishwasher soap instead of laundry soap. I'd only use fabric conditioner if I wanted my lego to be nice and (...) (24 years ago, 20-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)
