I took some additional pics which give a little bit more insight into the sign and searchlights. The sign took me several hours of building and rebuilding to remove gaps and such. The key pieces are 1x1 'headlight' bricks and 1x1 5-studded bricks to accommodate the studs-out-in-every-direction result. The final product is extremely sturdy and attaches to the theater building using a combination of technic pegs and 4-stud rods. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Calico/hiveleywood/crown/11.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Calico/hiveleywood/crown/12.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Calico/hiveleywood/crown/13.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Calico/hiveleywood/crown/14.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Calico/hiveleywood/crown/15.jpg When visualizing the searchlights, the key for me was getting them mounted at aesthetic angles. This is accomplished using technic ball/socket joints (like Yoda's eyes). This also results in searchlights that can search - they actually move! The vital visual element is of course those big chrome Naboo fighter engines:-) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Calico/hiveleywood/crown/16.jpg After moderation... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=33466 Thanks again.

(...) Dude!!! That is AWESOME!!! The theatre is sooooo cool! There so much chrome! How'd you make the spotlights and sign? Some disassembled pics would be much appreciated. The vacant blue/grey store and the fountain look cool too. Nathan Wells (21 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)
