Plauge

If I only found out earlier.. I would have asked my father to keep the lego. What was not eaten by the coming generation was thrown away (In my dark ages).

Remember playing with this stuff as a kid when visiting my grandfather, it was a mix of old and new lego probably belonged to my uncle/aunt/father in the 60´s Lack of clutching power and strange windows made me think it was some cheap look-alike. Being used to the town and space-sets in the 80´s.

I like it, but pro account does not make much sense anymore.

Wow... This is really impressive! I'm at loss of word.

Ended up buying the 10240 Red five X-wing from S@H. So much for being sensible

I didn't sit on the fence for a long time, ordered it and looking forward to start build it next week. Not too happy about the cockpit stickers but I'll manage (cannot be worse than UCS Y-wing). Anyhow.. I suspect Rufus being a sales representative from TLG, I seem to end up buying the sets he gives a good review.

Like the truck, need to build it. A "must" have for my town. One day I´m going on one of these tours, to bad I need stuff for my house and family..

Like this memory-lane review, thanks! Remember I wanted this set back then, but could not afford it (as a trainee the pay was not great).

This topic was inspiring. I will without doubt start a "lightning" project of my own town plan :)

Hehe, danke Really looking forward to the new chapters and images.

Love your post! Always intresting and entertaining. Your book was worth every cent.

I just got the Y-wing and Battle of Hoth from S@H. Looking forward for the UCS X-wing :D

I was watching "The Brest Fortress" a Russian war movie about the Sovjet defense of the Brest fortress (that was taken from the Poles in ´39) during the opening stages of Barnarossa in ´41.

I know the feeling, my underlying love for Lego burst out last year. So my planned "party-room" ended up as a lego-room

I must admit I envy you, brings back found memories when I see the pictures of those sets (6080 and 6061). Was my best christmas ever :D

Love it! All the classical town sets brings back memories :) I guess you will set it all up in a town/city?

Ah, ja. I guess we´re on the same page then . I think I will have a chance to improve it when I know what parts I actually have (and where).

So finally I´m off the clock again and can start my 1st (since the early 90´s) MOC. The good thing being away for 4 weeks is that all the PAB order etc.. is waiting for me when I get back home (Yea, and my wife too). So far I have completed the design for the ground floor, the 1st and roof/2nd floor still in progress. Using a 16x32 as a base-plate. Ground floor will be the with a stand-table. I plan to use the 1st floor as the dining area/restaurant. I´we made the base drawings but not sure how to furniture it yet. The floor level I will use as a atelier, with a pull down ladder for access. LDDScreenShot4 by pastajensen, on Flickr I´we just started building and I will update the post with pictures (using Flickr).

Woa! Great, just great!

I have to work more overtime this year (too). The Lone Ranger set´s are really good looking. I just don't know where I would place the sets.

Thanks, yea I´we been thinking on how to improve the walkway, ended up with the "boring" look as that´s was most walkways are? It also fit´s with the official modulars. But I think I could/should improve part to the door, it´s a bit to plain. I finally start to get a overlook of my available parts

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming! My idea was that it´s supposed to be "cheap" e.g. not the best conditions for an liveable apartment (but then again why a balcony). I´m now thinking about a apartment block inspired by the pet shop modular (for some uniformity). But it´s still only in the idea phase, while I´m busy sorting my Lego (I so regret starting... ).

Welcome, hope to see some of your creations :)
