Hi, everybody.

I would like to show off my new Log Cabin using those Log bricks, but on their
sides.  Just trying to come up with more ideas on using the bricks in different
ways.

I used 4 technic beams on their sides as the foundation creating a dual X. From
the Technic beams I attached the 1x2 and 1x4 logs to make the walls of the
cabin. I included the LDR file so you can check out what I’m talking about. The
walls are only “attached” on the bottom. Even though the walls interconnect at
the corners they are not stuck together at the corners.

I will have better pictures of this model and others that I have been working on
after our COLTC show at GATS in Dayton October 11-12 2003.  If you can make it,
come buy and show your support for Lego’s during the show!

Happy Lego’n

(...) I've never seen a log cabin like this (with the horizontal logs) ever done before, and I'd of thought someone would have stumbled across that before. It looks great and realistic. Thanks, George (21 years ago, 1-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)

Mike, This looks awesome. Could you take a photo with the walls off to show the construction to those of us who don't have LDraw? Or would that require too much deconstruction? Bruce (21 years ago, 1-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)

Duuuuuude :) That's really cool. I really like the style and techniques you used in this.

(...) I just uploaded a deconstruction of the cabin in LDR but I made a jpg for all to see also. The deep links are below and after they are moderated the main folder will also be available soon.

Great Job Mike! I really like building with log bricks. Your log cabin is great and very creative. It is a bit close to the water though ;) Ben (21 years ago, 2-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hey all, I just wanted to let you know that I have some more pictures of my Log Cabin MOC from COLTC latest show from the Dayton GATS show from last weekend (Oct 11,12 2003). Some of my pictures did not come out as I hoped but some did. I (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.announce.moc)
