Talking

Man that almost looks like a photo.

I remeber playing with the Space Lego, though I had more of the City stuff. I will be giving it all to my son when he's old enough.

Wow, that looks good! I remember playing Martian Chronicles with mine. I still have all the lego pieces in my parents' attic.

Pretty cool. I made a Lego Star Wars Rebel Runner a while ago, it's on here somewhere. Might seem like a silly question, but how did you show the tiny gaps between each block?

Thanks, I saw your lego work, very cool. The tiny gaps between the pieces come from the bevelled edges. The pieces butt together but the tiny bevel helps to add the subtle separation, I think:

Wow that's great! I remember my brother got the galaxy explorer for christmas and I got a moon base or something. I liked mine but I was so jealous of my brother. The Galaxy Explorer was legendary.

There are cultures on this planet that are just plain not ready for advanced technologies like explosives and automatic guns
