  Re: NYC grit of the past
 
(...) Those are some highly interesting pictures Jonathan. Some great inspiration and a lot of it is architecturally generic enough to be used in layouts based on other cities. I sure hope the station is 'dressed up' since I'm not sure I want to (...) (19 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)
 
  NYC grit of the past
 
I was rummaging around the sky scraper forum and found this thread (URL) These are the types of images that inspire parts of my layout. Burnt out NYC of the 70's and 80's (and beyond, in some cases).

  Re: Construction MOCs
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Construction MOCs
 
(...) 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)

  The Crystal Coupe
 
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.

  Re: Construction MOCs
 
(...) 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)

  Re: Construction MOCs
 
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.
