|
While many people have already viewed the pictures available on BrickShelf, I thought I’d go ahead and make an “official” announcement regarding my first really big MOC: Brickenbloom Place & Gardens. For those of you wishing to skip my usual, (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, lugnet.org.us.richlug, lugnet.duplo, lugnet.belville, lugnet.town) !!

(...) The REAL treasure in this set (I thought) was the 1x2 smoke-grey-transparent TILES that it uses for the truck's rear view mirrors. And of course all that orange. DaveE (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.town)

While perusing the inventory of a local TRU, I came across a shocking new construction brick toy that's a shameless and direct copy of another brand. Imagine my surprise when I spotted (URL) bears more than a passing similarity to the existing (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.town, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) That's interesting. After reading this post I was looking at busses all weekend. 3 different bus lines all had the wheel arrangement you describe. Funny how I never noticed that before, but now after this thread I couldn't stop seeing it. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

Finished the foundation for the retail stores, foodcourt and washrooms. The current stage is walls and floors are done and I'm now planning the roofs (rooves?) This has interestingly enough tapped my red,black and grey beams and black plates. The (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) That is true. However, Sean was also right about the steering issue. You want the front wheels to pivot about their centerline, so the steering mechanism must be *inside* the wheel. Go look at your car's front wheels if you don't believe me... (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) If the truck has 'duallies' in back, what is often done is that only one wheel type is used. The wheel is dished so that when two wheels are put back to back, the wheel centers are adjacent (and the plane between the two tyres). Then that's (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Well, I've noticed that most trucks and busses have a slightly different type of hub on their front wheels. I'm not sure why, perhaps it has to do with steering. (Any die-hard truck guys out there know why?) The hub on rear wheels is usually (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) No, not really. They're mostly built to compare with my 4-wide cars. (I have some taxicabs and other city vehicles.) I'm worried that they'll look out-of-scale with my buildings, since the busses are almost a full baseplate long. (I think (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

Hi all, I've had these guys around for quite some time. May I present the Space Marines.
