  Re: DSNY Streetsweeper
 
--SNIP-- (...) Is that your street? It's really well done. Lots of life and detailing. Excellent! Tim (18 years ago, 28-Jul-06, to lugnet.town)
 
  Re: DSNY Streetsweeper
 
(...) Very sharp sweeper!Very nice detail for such a compact truck....brushes are neat. I must have missed it when Larry put it on our layout...looks good on there next to all my datails(trafficlights,fences etc.) mayybe not as cool as your streets (...) (18 years ago, 28-Jul-06, to lugnet.town)

for those of you returning to brickfest who may be familiar with the social aspect of this great fest, a big vignette (bignette) voicing certain attendees' concerns re the bar scene.

  Re: Local snack-bar
 
(...) I really do like your tower(s) and the adaptions that you created. I also love the idea for the train-track-vig: is that a personal statement about Clickits? ;) Your Adventurer's costume is great, too :) I rerendered the pictures of the (...) (18 years ago, 27-Jul-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)
 
  Re: DSNY Streetsweeper
 
(...) Thanks! I had thought about the mirrors but hadn't tried anything. I was concerned it would look silly with something there in place for them. But, I guess I won't know unless I try. I like your suggestions and will give them a shot. Thanks (...) (18 years ago, 27-Jul-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)
 
  Re: DSNY Streetsweeper
 
(...) Outstanding! Great solution for the brushes. About the only thing missing are the mirrors - how about a (URL) frying pan> stuck in a headlight brick on the left and a 1x2 tile jammed into a (URL) clip> on the right? Marc Nelson Jr. (URL) (...) (18 years ago, 27-Jul-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)
 
  Re: DSNY Streetsweeper
 
(...) Thanks, Tim. And, thank you very much for the inspiration to redo it: (URL) Jonathan (18 years ago, 27-Jul-06, to lugnet.town)
 
  Re: DSNY Streetsweeper
 
(...) Once again some lovely work, Jonathan. All those angles are very nicely executed to give it a highly realistic look. Tim (18 years ago, 27-Jul-06, to lugnet.town)
 
  DSNY Streetsweeper
 
I was recently inspired to take a closer look at a DSNY Street sweeper and this is what I have come up with: (URL) Thanks to Sid Dinsay for sending me the two missing slope elements. Here is a picture of the real thing: (URL) There are two special (...) (18 years ago, 27-Jul-06, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town) ! 
 
  Mountain Layout for the By Air, By Rail Festival
 
Here's some pictures of the Mountain layout Eric Bell and I built up for the big By Air, By Rail Festival in Fortville Indiana July 21 - 23, 2006. (URL) Darrow (18 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)  
 
  Re: Local snack-bar
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Local snack-bar
 
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 (...)

  Re: Minifig-scale sports car
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Minifig-scale sports car
 
(...) It's got VROOM. Schleimin' nice curves on the front. It appears to have overgrown its wheels a bit, but no biggie. But an automatic???? Meow. (BTW good to see you in Philly) JOHN (18 years ago, 24-Jul-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)
 
  Minifig-scale sports car
 
I built this last week and posted about it in another thread, but I never did actually 'announce' it. So here it is--a six-wide two-seater with the top down. Click the pic for many more shots.

  Re: Local snack-bar
 
(...) Thanks for your compliments. The bench is just supoosed to be a bench for people to eat their snacks on. 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)
 
  Re: Local snack-bar
 
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 (...)

  Re: Local snack-bar
 
Hello Robert, It's a nice model, with a good level of detail for the scale you've chosen. I would consider to make the bench besides the back door six studs long, and model its shape with brown grill tiles, in order to mimic the very narrow beams (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jul-06, to lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Local snack-bar
 
What a cute building! I think that's a great choice of prototype, Robert - small, characterful, and a few non-rectangular features to make it an interesting challenge to build - and you've really done a good job of catching the character. I (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jul-06, to lugnet.town)
