SC-01 Prospector
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.
Halloween 2001: Ghost, Pumpkin, and Witch
Models built for display in my front window for Halloween.
PB4Y-2 Privateer
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.
Micro-Mechs
These little guys are miniature robots or mecha, made as an experiment in getting new uses from some rather specialized parts.
Germany 2001: LEGO at Holger’s
In August 2001, I was sent to Germany on a business trip by my employer. I had posted on the discussion forum on 1000steine.de: “any German LEGO fans want to meet me?”. I ended up visiting Holger Matthes at his home in Mönchengladbach. For the whole trip report, see my travel blog, Roaming Bill. Here we talk just about the LEGO.
Pedestrian Bridge
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 at the home of Holger “HoMa” Matthes in M�nchengladbach, and we built some accessories for their train layout. I built this pedestrian bridge.
Docking Rings
This is an idea for a standard docking system for LEGO® spacecraft. It is done by forming a docking ring with Technic® pegs spaced in a square configuration. The spacing of these pegs is designed so that whether mounted on the side of a wall of a ship (bricks), or in the floor or ceiling (plates), they can still be used to dock with another craft in any of 4 orientations.
