(...) Thanks. Yes, Al's is a Diner. Do you mean a real life diner? Assuming you do, there is actually a pretty cool story about that. There is a diner in Fall River, Mass. called AlMac's. I havee a book on Photorealistic painters - a number of whom (...) (15 years ago, 12-Aug-09, to lugnet.town)

In the End Shot #2, it looks like where the first blue car is parked, well, that is where Sarah and Kyle stayed and had "plastique" for diner. Actually I liked seeing the details you went crazy on. Nice work. Eric Sophie (15 years ago, 10-Aug-09, to lugnet.town)

This should be my last significant MOC for NALUG's 2009 GETS show. I might fiddle with some vehicles if I have time, and there is one small item I might go with. This is a motel, an *ugly* motel. Many of you may have stayed in a motel just like (...) (15 years ago, 10-Aug-09, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town, lugnet.loc.ca)

Nearly a year ago, our group, NALUG, was asked to do some displays and bus kits for the local transit system. I ended up doing two kits and one larger model. A few months ago, I got my "Emerald Night" train, and #8275 Power Functions bulldozer. That (...)

Excellent! The minifig was well chosen too as a character you're likely to see riding around. My first look at it had me laughing and I had to look again hours later. I suppose a "mall cop" variant will need to be built as well. Now if you can only (...) (15 years ago, 14-Jul-09, to lugnet.town, FTX)
