The first couple of pages of the new Millennium City page have now gone up. First up, a picture of part of Highbury, the industrial area of the city. Linked from the first page is a map of the city. I'll be adding more as time permits. Design Notes: (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)

Thanks, Gary, for the interesting bits about the bridge in Florence. (Got to get my cities straight.) I also looked at Eric J's pictures, neato. I'm going to start a "journal" format web page for this project. The first two pictures are at (URL) (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

(...) A good source of minifig carpets is Belville sets 5820 (pink), 5821 (green), 5835 (white). They look like long towels but fit perfectly on my fitness centre floors. Allan (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)

Well, out Target just put out all the new sets, and I bought most of them (All the castle, all the Star Wars System sets (not Technic), all the Arctic, 6600 Highway Construction, and 6474 Wheeled Front Shovel). I immediately took out the highway (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.town)

If so, it's not open to the public, or part of the Uffizi Museum. (...) The anecdote I heard was that the (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

Great ideas Erik! Only you've got the wrong Italian city for the Ponte Vecchio. It is actually in Florence. The Ponte Vecchio bridge is very interesting because on top of the bridge are 2 galleries, the lower gallery consists of shops and stores, (...)

(...) In Seaborn Brick I usually lay down two 1x4 plates 4 studs apart, then I put a 4x6 plate ontop... and ontop of that I put a 1x4 tile or plate for the pillows. That kinda bed I usually make for two minifigs. The next kind is a basic 1x2x6 brick (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)

(...) I have a decent bunk bed design that I'm using in my barracks for my current castle project. IMHO it's only real drawback is that it's very piece- intensive. I'll upload a picture tonight. James (URL) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)

(...) I've changed the styles of my beds many times. I used to build hotels with single hotel rooms (i.e. for 1 minifig), and for those I used to build a bed, like this: Take two 2x1 bricks, with a two stud distance between them. On them put a 2x4 (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)

And now for the assessments!! 6095 Guarded Treasury 101 pcs, $14.99 *Great Buy!* I think this set will make up the bulk of extra castle purchases this year.
