COnverse!
pdf files for the LEGO Architecture series (or any LEGO set) can be downloaded for free

Custom stuff, not so much.

Some digital models can be downloaded here or here

I have a bunch of those old space sets from the mid 80s. I only still have a handful of them still assembled, but I do still have all the pieces and the instructions for a few of them.

I have these:


Uranium Search Vehicle - 1984 - http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=6928-1


Crater Crawler - 1985 - http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=6826-1


Modular Space Transport - 1986 - http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=6892-1


Mobile Recovery Vehicle - 1986 - http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=6926-1


Lunar Scout - 1986 - http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=1580-1

By the way, does anyone else know of any websites that show old LEGO sets from way back? I've sort of been on a vintage LEGO set binge lately and have been trying to put back together my old sets.

Kevin, if you go to http://www.bricklink.com/ you can go to the Catalog and search on sets, I think you can order them by date of release. You can then use the Inv link to list the parts that were in that set. I hope that helps.

Spencer, Nice use of color on the One57 condo tower!

While I do like to drop surprises every now and then, I don't enjoy completely forgoing the suspense of dropping hints, even if just on this secluded forum. That said; I wonder what that new vacant lot behind my Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower could mean... For those familiar with Chicago, this is a dead giveaway!

Nice one! I really like the 1x1 rounds that pull of that nice profile from stacking them sideways. I'll have to keep that in mind...

We'll have to do another side-by-side picture at Brickworld. This time with our Chase towers.

The tubes are all cut from 37L pneumatic LEGO tubes, so yes, it's all LEGO!
