| (...) Sounds awesome! I've long thought that the 7344 could be easily modified into a more realistic mining truck by adding (URL) to the front and some other details. As for the shovel, would it be a (URL) shovel> or a (URL) giant wheel loader>? If (...) (19 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| | | | Re: The Crystal Coupe
|
| (...) Hey! Very nice! Especially considering the lack of variation of available parts in trans colors... I think I like the glass works building the best! Just watch out for evil minifigs with rocks..... Car is super cool too! Too bad the trans (...) (19 years ago, 6-Mar-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| (...) Excellent stuff. I like them all but really like the dozer the best. I think dozer's are difficult to do and you did it wonderfully. Thanks, Jonathan (19 years ago, 6-Mar-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| (...) It's always neat to see what's new in your folders Nelson, lots of great ideas and usage of blocks. I made a couple of cavemen after seeing your vig's and they are happily running amock thru the town. Your glassworks are very nice, I'm sure (...) (19 years ago, 6-Mar-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| I came up with some experimental MOCs the other week, which I recently uploaded: (URL) And, while working with these trans-pieces, I wondered if whether or not a car could be built. Using some of my more rare parts, I managed to put together a cool (...) (19 years ago, 6-Mar-06, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town, FTX) !

| (...) Steven, that is 3 very nice machines. While the ever-present trade-off between form and functionality in town scale construction MOCs is very hard to balance, you've done it masterfully with these. Very nice! ROSCO (19 years ago, 4-Mar-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| Nice equipment you got there. I have a MOC idea to build a large mining shovel to go with the 7344 dump truck and using the large black bucket from the 8455 backhoe loader as a bucket but I just gotta get the right wheels for it :) (19 years ago, 4-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)

| 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.

Many US military vehicles are quite wide... how wide is this one in real life? Did you post it to modelteam because (...)

| 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) !

| 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) !
