Hi- SCLTC is up to something big. We will post a hint daily. You are invited to guess what we are doing. If, by chance, you know what we're doing, then it would not be a guess for you to respond here. Have fun! -Ted Michon SCLTC (19 years ago, 19-Jun-05, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.build, lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.scltc, lugnet.loc.us.ca, lugnet.town, FTX) !

(...) Great hotel! (I never thought it was a fire station - I have never seen a 8 story fire station). I like the gray and red color scheme. I also like the storefront style displays that help to add life to the model (something I need to work on (...) (19 years ago, 16-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

This is my first post here. I would like to announce a standard I've been working on. All Kinds of Structures (A.K.o.S.) The purpose of this standard is to define a modular block-based building method for building towns. Modules can be squares or (...)

(...) (URL) Thank you really much, Tim. The door system is simple when it is done! You're right! But this wasn't the only difficulty I found. Even the wheels needed a lot of work in order to make them proportionate to the rest of the bus which has a (...) (19 years ago, 15-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

That is definatly my favorite MOC of the year. I love it when a design with clever working details also looks just right, especially when it is all done in a compact space. That door design is brilliant in its simplicity (not that I think it was (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

I'd go with a roof sign for now. Maybe you could even put some real lighted bricks on it! BTW.. love the hotel. Hope to see it in person soon. John (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Luca, the bus looks great, I think I'll try making one. I'm reposting to .trains as well. It's not a train, but it would go nicely withe a town layout, and the mirrior and door technique could be usefel for some types of train. Mat (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Very nice! Good sources of inspiration :) A sign with the hotel's name couldn't hurt. I built a sign into a side wall of my Hotel Columbia that seems to get the point across (althought that one isn't red). A large rooftop sign would be neato, (...)

(...) Yes, very clever SNOT work on the doors! It avoids a lot of tiles and works just great... I think I may need to copy some aspects of that on my next bus... -Matt :) (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)
