|
|
Here is my latest town contest entry. (URL) It was inspired by the Munson Diner, formerly on the West Side Highway in Manhattan. I was really happy with the way my Almac's diner came out and decided to build more diners (I have two more in the works (...) (19 years ago, 27-Feb-06, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.contests)

(...) Very nice! I am glad you included a picture of the real thing so we can see how closely you got to it. Great job! Lots of snot.

| | State Courthouse, Columbus OH
|
|
My latest addition to the Columbus downtown is the courthouse(click on picture to go to brickshelf folder): (URL) I'm pretty happy with how close I could get it, as the scale (1:100) was pre-defined by the surrounding buildings already exisiting.

| | Re: MOC: MAN 5t military transporter
|
|
(...) Very pretty. For people like me who are 6 wide train heads, is this vehicle as is too wide to fit in at 8? Put another way... Many US military vehicles are quite wide... how wide is this one in real life? Did you post it to modelteam because (...)

| | Modifed Classic Space helmet for town use.
|
|
Way back in 1979, I was worried about the possible replacement of the Legoland town stuff that I loved with the newcomer, Legoland Space. Sure it was nice to get lots of grey, but, at the time, I was convinced there were too many specialised parts. (...) (19 years ago, 24-Feb-06, to lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX) !

(...) Thanks! Your stuff is great and it has inspired me plenty. And, you seem to crank it out very quickly. Keep pushing, always, but, you're already there. Thanks again, Jonathan (19 years ago, 22-Feb-06, to lugnet.town)

Very cool. I like the color scheme a lot. I agree, this one seems much nicer than the previous version. Bruce (19 years ago, 21-Feb-06, to lugnet.town)

| | Diner
|
|
I decided to redo my diner recently. I liked my first version, but thought it was to big and didn't have much soul. I had to make some sacrifices to reproduce it in a scale that I felt fit with my other buildings and layout but, I am really happy (...) (19 years ago, 21-Feb-06, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build) !

(...) Hi Jonathan, I was a bit iffy about the door too but I think it is quite similar to the original building. Possibly a bit of creative tweaking would have made it better but I was trying to match the original as closely as possible because I (...) (19 years ago, 15-Feb-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| | Re: My second Town Structure Contest Entry

(...) Very impressive! The windows look really good and the garage door looks great too. I am also impressed with the quick turnaround time. I am wondering if the door (the people door) could be done differently? Somehow, it doesn't read as a door (...) (19 years ago, 15-Feb-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)
