Since it's virtually all black, it's a little hard to see the details in my photographs. The front view offers the best shot, I think. (URL) want to add a winch to the front, if I can find one in black or gray. Otherwise it's ready to be populated (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.announce.moc)

(...) I'm very impressed with the level of detail and the cleanness of the non-90-degree construction. The roof is very cool, and threatens the uniquness of my "macro structures" building technique :-) Very nicely done!

What a neat technique! Can you see the underside of the tiles that (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ks, lugnet.loc.us.mo.kan)

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 (...)
