  Re: Car size question.
 
Hi Adrian, (...) I've got 3 of Privet Drive, so I have lots of blue pieces, but the car doesn't hold more than 2 people. In fact, this is the car I want to expand to hold four people, but having no experience making cars, I don't have any idea how I (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Car size question.
 
(...) You might want to consider picking up the Harry Potter Escape From Privet Drive set: (URL) car is 6 wide and seats two minifigs easily, and looks like it's got a back seat that might be adaptable to seat two more. If you buy a couple and get (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Probuilder Toys R Us sets warning
 
(...) With respect, I must happily report an experience entirely in contrast to yours. I'm sorry for the hassle you've encountered; not only did my 9735 have all the listed pieces and then some, but I've also never had that problem with any (...)

  Car size question.
 
Hi, Can anyone tell me where to find instructions for a family sedan-style car that'll seat 4 minifigs? I checked the building instructions site, but all the cars I was able to find, were for only 1 or 2 figs. I'd really like to seat a group of 4, (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Residential Block/Squad 252
 
(...) Once again, Mr. Lopes, you amaze me with your creations. If the people at lego had half a brain, they would snatch you up immediately as a creator for lego sets in the much needed revival of the town series. Sometime I need to see these (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)
 
  Probuilder Toys R Us sets warning
 
Hello everyone. I recently purchased the Mega Bloks Probuilders NYC Fire Engine. I highly recommend not purchasing the set, or at least ensuring you have all the pieces so that you are not disappointed like myself. I went to post a review of the set (...)

  Re: Residential Block/Squad 252
 
(...) Indeed. Thanks for the extra info guys! (and Eric, I did go look at that site. Many of the paintings didn't come up but the ones that did, made the point nicely, thanks for the link!)... I would agree that earthtones are the colors of reality. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Eric and Jonathan have explained the reference, but I will expound a little further. I try and create turn of the century period buildings that look as "realistic" as possible, and one of the main ways one can accomplish this is to avoid (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)

  Re: Residential Block/Squad 252
 
I think John Neal is referring to the "Ashcan School" of painters (turn of the century to about 1920) who often painted slums and city folk in unglamorous but detailed styles. Helpful Web page: (URL) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Residential Block/Squad 252
 
(...) Add me to the brotherhood of cavernous undetailed buildings. I have done some limited detailing where there is an easily viewable interior section from the exterior. I for one don't believe that Minifigs run around the layout when the lights (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks. I built the truck after you and I discussed the street vendor's a while ago. (...) Yeah, I'd like to add a clothesline on the fire escape too. I don't know how to do the clothes though. Well with 'Dobbys Release' I can do socks. (...) (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Hi Brad, thanks! The brown arches protrude by one stud from the rest of the facade. It is quite solid though, there are just enough parts available in the burnt orange color (plates, tiles etc) to make it work. All of the arches are attached (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Residential Block/Squad 252
 
(...) I always love the neat little details you add, like the metal bars on the first-floor windows of the tan building, the flowers on the windowsill, and the air-vents on the roof. (And of course the "Jonathan Lopes signature" standpipe valve. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)
