| (...) Actually, when I was writing my previous, I was a bit in doubt what type of bench to advise: one with hinged supports and plate ore tile beams, or the type I wrote about in my post. You've found a nice combination of these two ideas, and (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jul-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| Ok, I changed the bench and accordingly icreased the size of the base of model. I didn't redo the bench quite in the way that you told me to, but I actually like this version, so I hope you do too: (URL) The back end of the bench only sits on 1x1 (...)

| (...) Yes, the snot work goes in all four directions on this one. In fact, the wheels are schleimed facing down due to the 1x1 slopes used as wheel wells. Speaking of which, with all of the wheels that Lego produces, you would think they'd have the (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jul-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

It's actually more decorational, just like the original bench (all my friends who live here and have seen my pictures argued with me that (...) (18 years ago, 21-Jul-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| Thank you all for your very positive comments, I really do appreciate them. (...) I actually wasn't all that happy with the bench, but I couldn't come up with anything better that would still fit the scale, so thanks a lot for your advice. It sounds (...)
