(...) Thanks! (...) Well, the arch piece is 3 wide. Using the 1/2 stud offset was the only way I could figure out how to make it work w/o leaving holes towards the top of the arch. It was a little difficult to do, but building in tan made it a (...) (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)

(...) Looks awesome! One question : was there a specific reason for the 1/2stud offset around the windows? I mean it looks great, specially with the tiles left&right of the door, but was there an actual reason for this obvious builders torture? WRT (...) (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)

(...) Another great building from you Jonathan. The wheel hubs (?) are perfect for the windows and a wonderfully clever use of parts. My favourite bit though is the door. It screams Sesame Street to me in a very good way ;) Tim (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)

When we first saw the recent firetruck set with the fenders (?) I knew I wanted to use those parts for lintels on a building. I thought they were nearly perfect. I wish they were attached to a plate rather than a brick, but I made it work anyway, (...) (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town) !!

I was rummaging around the sky scraper forum and found this thread (URL) These are the types of images that inspire parts of my layout. Burnt out NYC of the 70's and 80's (and beyond, in some cases).

Nice equipment you got there. I have a MOC idea to build a large mining shovel to go with the 7344 dump truck and using the large black bucket from the 8455 backhoe loader as a bucket but I just gotta get the right wheels for it :) (19 years ago, 4-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)
