    This rabbit took 26 hours to build.  He was the fourth model I did for LEGO Systems, Inc.

    The Rabbit in Progress: 

    This is the rabbit I built.  The finishedmodel is on the top right of all these pages.  You might notice that the workers who helped me with the hat for Mall of America at on this model as well.  I really liked to take some time to have fun when I was building.  You might notice that at this particular time there is a fire on the model.  That's because I refused to let the LEGO workers organize and some of the more disgruntled ones set a fire.  I had to huury and build fire trucks and firemen to fight the fire.  Eventually the workers organized and I couldn't have been happier as they were better trained and happier. 

    We used a wooden lazy susan to move the model around as we built.  You can see that at the bottom of the picture.

    Keith's Office: 

    This was one of the designer's offices.  Pretty cool place to work.  For you trival buffs, here's two: 

    • Keith is the only person I know who managed to sign his model.  There is a space ship in the Mall of America with the line "KF 2-92" on the fussagle.  That is his initals and the date.
    • The model behind the chair is the gremlin model used in the movie gremlins2.
    Vrrrooommm: 

    This is one of the eight Technic 25x Shock cycles that we built.  It was contructed using the Technic Set 8028 (I think, it's been awhile) and scaling up 25 times.  All of the black tubes are ventialation to suck out the glue fumes. 

    You can also see pretty clearly the tables we used to build on.  They were hydroalic so we could raise and lower them depending upon the model's height.

    Bridge over lego waters 

    This is(was?) the bridge that travelled with the LEGO Invention Adventure.  It was an interesting model because of all the potential for warpage due to the skinny supports and the roof brick cross beams.  To the left you can see part of the scale we used to measure how heavy these models were.
