This idea popped into my head at work, so I sketched it & later quickly rendered it in LDD: (URL) I originally thought of using 'tooth' or short 'blade' pieces, for the skate blades, but this solution fit the scale & looks better, and it lets one (...) (14 years ago, 19-Nov-10, to lugnet.town, FTX)

I'm kind of annoyed at myself that I didn't reply to this sooner. I mean, I saw it way back when you posted, but somehow I forgot to hit the REPLY button. Excellent work, and I agree with you that it's superior to the official model. Nicely done! (14 years ago, 15-Oct-10, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) For this length, I think it might look better with 1x10 plate for the top beam, and dropping the 1x4 plates on the bottom completely, leaving the bridge deck to form the bottom beam. - But then I wouldn't be able to reuse the design for a (...)

These are EXCELLENT, Jonathan. The peeling layers and broken windows on the New York building are masterful. And I lived in Baltimore for a few years (never saw The Wire, though). You nailed the look of the old row houses in a run-down part of the (...) (14 years ago, 1-Oct-10, to lugnet.town)
