LEGOmaniacs on the World Wide Web
This document is part of a World Wide Web resource located at
http://www.porchwithhouse.com/lego/.
There is also a
version of this document
with in-line thumbnail images.
The following LEGOmaniacs have WWW pages or other links.
Some of these have lots of LEGO® stuff.
In other cases, these are just people's regular home pages,
not their stashes of LEGO® data,
but you can see the faces and other interests of
some people you might meet in rec.toys.lego or other Internet LEGO® hot spots.
I've indicated in each case whether my link leads to
the person's home page (and if so, whether any LEGO® is there)
or a special LEGO® page.
Some of the LEGO® pages are mother lodes of fascinating images and
information; I've tried to give hints pointing to the good stuff,
but it's practically impossible to keep track of it all.
- Jacob Sparre Andersen has a
home page and a
LEGO® page.
There are a number of photos and drawings of original work,
the (relatively complete) set of
catalog images,
photos of LEGOland in Denmark,
some original instructions, and other interesting items.
- Allen Ano has a
home page
and an interesting description of a LEGO® Party.
- Daniel W. Bailey has a
LEGO® page.
- Randall Barker maintains
the LEGO Purists Page
with Steve Hartman.
These fellows love basic bricks and hate stuff they think is ``specialized.''
They're willing to put minifigures in their finished models when they fit,
however.
They have an absolutely stunning minifigure-scale model of the
Millenium Falcon, alongside lots of other good stuff.
- Robert C. Barth has a
LEGO® page,
featuring his ``eighty-plus square feet town layout,''
the Model of the Month, and many other things.
- Zachary Benz has a
LEGO® page
with many interesting photos of his very nice town, castle,
and space models, showing good ways to make models with
interior spaces for the minifigures.
There are also some photos of LEGO's own (very impressive) models of U.S.
landmark buildings.
- Michael N. Berz has a
home page;
Follow the
LEGO® link
to find lots of interesting and otherwise-hard-to-find stuff, including
set reviews, the Chicago Tribune article on LEGO® for girls,
etc.
- Richard Bingle has a
home page.
- Dan Boyd has a
home page.
This is linked to a

text-only when I looked, but lots of it: LEGO® riot control,
anti-missile defense for pirate ships, etc.
- Will Chapman has a
LEGO® page,
featuring some very nice original LEGO® trains and accessories.
- Robert M. Colonna has a
LEGO® page.
See what you can do with 25,000 pieces!

- Leo Dorst has a
LEGO® page
with many interesting original models, including a realistic model
of his own house, designs for LEGO® trains, and LEGO® robotics.

His 1959 Cadillac was a prize-winning entry in the Summer 1995
rec.toys.lego building competition.
- Jason Ehrlich has a

Feb 1996, but presumably growing).

the BriCad Homepage,
from which you can get step-by-step interactive instructions
for models drawn in a style similar to real LEGO® instructions.
There's even an animated GIF of a model being assembled, which
is well worth seeing if your browser is capable.
- Bill Goldberg has a
LEGO® page
with nice pictures and commentary.
- Richard Goldfinder has a
LEGO® page
with a drawing showing some of the dimensions of LEGO® parts
(mostly correct, at least nominally---also see
the rec.toys.lego FAQ).
- Jason Grazado has a page for the
New Amsterdam Lego City,
with pictures of a LEGO® city he built along with
his daughter Callan and son Max.
The aerial views are so good, they almost cause me to like road plates.
Check out all the great details such as the ramp at the entrance to the
parking garage.
- Paul Gyugyi has a
home page;
follow the LEGO links for raytraced images or 1995 catalog images.
Also check out the
LEGO® card (79 KB GIF).

and a listing of Technic parts (primarily gears).
- Leon Hurst has a
``Virtual LEGO'' page
for his virtual reality project that uses simulated LEGO®.

- Todd Lehman maintains the
Fibblesnork LEGO® Guide,
which has information on Space and Aquazone sets, including Todd's ratings,
everything you need to know about selling your old LEGO® on the Internet,
and other items of interest.
You will need frames (read: Netscape 2.0 or higher) to properly
access this page, but it's well worth it if you can manage it.

with a comprehensive listing of UK LEGO® sets and catalogs from the
early 1970s, some original instructions,
and notes on a number of interesting projects.
- Jeffrey Lyon has a
``legosrcool''
page on Prodigy's server.
The main purpose of this page seems to be to buy and sell LEGO® sets

The consensus on rec.toys.lego seems to be that
the price lists should not be taken very seriously.

raytraced LEGO® images.

home page,
as well as a LEGO Exchange service described in
my notes on Trading Opportunities.

This is mirrored at

with many photos of his original designs:
robots, trains, an incredible semi-trailer tractor with sleep-in cab,
and more.
- Ben Vaughan has a
LEGO® page
featuring a series of excellent photographs of a ``mech''
(walking fighting vehicle) and some aircraft that he built.
- Chris Vaughn has a
home page.
This has a link to a
LEGO® elements list,
but my three WWW browsers all seem to handle this badly;
anonymous FTP to
hobbes.eds.udel.edu, directory
/ETL_FTP_Site/public/lego,
seems to work better.
- Matthew Verdier has a
home page
and a
LEGO® page
featuring his Gothic cathedral and tower models.

game played with LEGO® bricks.

that is worth visiting for the title graphic alone.
It also has GIFs of various bricks and a LEGO® screen saver.

has created a
space-themed conflict simulation game
for which LEGO® happens to serve well as playing pieces,
but it doesn't seem as if it will ever be available at this site again.
Look elsewhere for related games.
- Lou Zucaro maintains
Pause Magazine's LEGO® Reference Guide,
a very nice reference including extensive information
about various old and new lines of LEGO®, with pictures of the sets.
The site has photos of some very interesting original LEGO® designs
sent in by readers of the rec.toys.lego newsgroup.
- William R. Zwicky has a
LEGO® page
with a form for generating your own ``LEGO Code'' (unfortunately
not supported by the WWW server at its current location---I bet Bill
would love to give the form to someone whose server will actually
run it).
