(...) Looks great! I do miss the sand green 1x1 tile on the headlight brick towards the rear though. Regardless of what it represented, I think it added some nice texture there. I really want to build on of these for myself. I just love the look of (...) (18 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

Thanks to the masses of SNOT and some choices I had to make to do with available bricks the bus weighs a tonne... which is probably prototypical. (2 URLs) and the (...)

PSLTC has developed a suburban house standard, which is presented below. Jeff Pelletier did most of the thinking and work.

Very nice! As usual with your work I find myself sucked into enjoying a town MOC (shudders instinctively ; ) I particularly like the 'teeth' look inside the back of the truck, a nice piece of realism. My other faviourite part of this MOC was (...) (18 years ago, 31-Jan-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
