Hi, I like the Fed-Ex van, but I also was wondering why you did it upside down. Was this just as sort of a challenge to yourself? Or was there some particular detail you felt only worked with upside-down bricks? Bruce (22 years ago, 3-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Hmm. That's an interesting piece. the slope/stud arrangement is more like those curved slope pieces: (URL) a cute set, too. I particularly like the aligator munching on the bones of some past explorer. :) (...) I'm not hugely opposed to (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)
