(...) What an excellent idea! It has completely flat sides, so no problems there. What sort of resolution do you want? (I think I can go up to 1200x1200 dpi without crashing the computer) Regarding the underside structure, the sides are completely (...)

(...) Ooh. Well, that might be fun to model, in any case! (...) Do you have a scanner? If you do, you could scan it and send me the digital file - that would actually be better than an oblique photograph. I can then import the image file into (...)

(...) Thanks for the comments. Everywhere you look in the LEGO community there are great things going on so it's fun to share some of your own stuff from time to time and find that it perhaps inspires others to create further. A nice cycle! -Ted (19 years ago, 28-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

(...) WOW! Followed-up with JEALOUSY ... followed-up with another WOW. That is so amazing. My favorite use of a brick: a broom end that was used to represent meat at a market table ... nice. Thanks for sharing. Brian (19 years ago, 28-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

(...) Rosco- You are exactly correct: Stripe 9: 6 at brick 2, 5 at brick 14. The measuring sticks worked out quite well. Hmmm, a prize: How would you like to caclculate and make the measuring sticks for our next flag? Something bigger, of course! (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

Really nice work, Ted! I went to see it the other night, and was happy to see a line of people waiting to get a photo in front of it.. Couple more questions: Could you post the instructions you gave fairgoers who wanted to help? I'm curious how (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

We locked the wire down in place using bricks on 10 48x48 stud baseplates and built the sample stripe next to it. When we got something (...)

Starts reply by wiping a tear from my eyes ... beautiful. So how much time and planning went into creating the pattern? What about the supporting vertical iron supports?

(...) Club members built the first 6 rows by working on top of a pattern (a mirror image of a stripe, turned upside down so it would not stick). The shape gets locked in as soon as there are two rows of bricks in place. We used 6 rows to increase (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

(...) What about the curve? How did you maintain structural integrity with many people building the moc (as in the shape of the curve)? From my experience with 2x2 bricks and curves they do not have a lot of clutch power. So your building technique (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
