(URL) is a model of the Homestead Building in Kew Gardens, NY. This Tudor-style building has varied decorative timber patterns. I first got a liking for my now-favorite color combination, brown and tan, from this project. The wild variety of brown (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.town)

Here's my entry for the 2002 town contest. It's a model of the Grand Haven lighthouse in Grand Haven, Michigan. I don't know what category it should fit in, since it's basically two small buildings on 4 baseplates. I guess I'll let Kevin make the (...)

(...) I just posted some construction pics on the roof. I haven't used LDraw, and probably won't take the model apart too much to photograph it, but I will try and get some other photos up to show some of the techniques. (...) Thanks! (...) I look (...)

(...) Thanks for the comments! I posted some pictures in a construction folder that should give a good idea on how to build the roofs. (URL) think of it as a vertical wall of bricks, except that every 1 and 2/3 of a brick in height, you add a layer (...)

I haven't been on this list for that long now, but this is a simply amazing model. The detail is magnificent and the roof is superb. I only wish I had half the talent required to build this masterpiece. I know it would probably be quite a bit to ask (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

(...) Thank you for the compliment! Miniland is IMO the highest standard of detailed construction, although they get to use things we mortals could never get our hands on, even with BrickLink.

(...) Yes, I do plan on displaying it at the Inn. I would like it to be in glass, but it's probably too big for that so it will just have to sit on top of the piano in the main entry. Hopefully it will be safe. Jason (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Um... I'm speechless. Almost. :-) This minifig scale building rivals the detail and look of some of Miniland's finest. IIRC the KC US is still standing, not too far away from Crown Center, and is now a museum. The real station is kind of at a (...)
