Hey guys, After my one year dark age, I've finally begun building again. Just want to share these pictures of a new ship I'm working on (still need to work out some problems with the boxy look).

jonathan, you were wishing for a "brick colored brick". How do you think the sand-red works as "bricks" for this MOC? It's a subdued color like the other sands, and until I printed it out I thought it was gray and your photograph had a red shift (or (...) (23 years ago, 17-Nov-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build)

I have an idea that uses 1x1 bricks, 1x3 plates and 1x8 tiles. Very simple for straight runs, 1x3 elbow plates do corners. 1x1 plates for top caps or and decor you like. I have a picture of the idea at... (URL) Carcanague (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)

Here is my idea of a fence, you only need lots of (bulk) 1 x 6 plates, and four 1 x 3 plates (two at each end) per straight run of fence. It does't require any bracked type parts to place the fence verticaly, the plate posts can be placed between (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) Or possibly have posts with 1x2 technic bricks, with 1/2 technic pins in the hole. You can attach plates (studs-on-side) to the pins. You could do the posts 1x1 if you have a bulk supply of 1x1 technic bricks. ROSCO (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)
