This building was one of my first contributions to the BayLTC train layout, and the first one that I posted pictures of online.

On my old site, these were four separate entries, but in reposting them I have combined them into one.
In August 2001, Paul Hartzog announced he was sponsoring a “HoverThing” contest. The Contest announcement and rules were posted on LUGNET and many people submitted entries, including myself. I didn’t win, but here are the models I built for the contest. The official contest website shows all the entries, including the winning one. Pocket RocketShown in both blue and black versions. Hover PatrolA simple police cruiser Astro-PumpkinA very silly entry for the contest. The main point was to employ an unusual color scheme and to find a use for the angled part in the nose.

Here’s another old post from my old site.
This scout craft visits asteroids and takes samples for analysis, so that if it should prove suitable, mining craft can come and extract minerals from them. Click the big picture to go to the set page on Flickr, or click on an individual photo. Or, you can view a slideshow of the photos. |

This model is dedicated to the memory of my father, Robert H. Ward, who flew the PB4Y-2 on flare-dropping missions during the Korean War in the early 1950’s. He passed away on November 9, 2001. I built it in the fall of 2001. He never got to see it, but it was on display at his memorial service.
I brought this model to the October 2001 and January 2002 BayLUG meetings. I took pictures from those meetings, which can be seen on my site. Also, the the BayLUG website features pictures taken by others (October 2001 and January 2002) Click the big picture to go to the set page on Flickr, or click on an individual photo.

On my old Web site/blog, bill.wards.net, I have a lot of LEGO postings which used brickshelf.com for image hosting. Although I copied all the images to Flickr some time back, I never updated the listings to point to the new image location. Now that Brickshelf is going offline (edit: it came back, but I still prefer Flickr), however, I need to do that. And rather than update them on the old site, I have decided to move them to Brickpile instead. This is the oldest LEGO posting on that site:
Unlike the rest of my models, this was not built using my own LEGO collection. During a trip to Germany in August 2001, I visited with some German LEGO fans and we built some accessories for their train layout.
