No doubt this is bread and butter stuff to space guys, but there was a lot
of other funny stuff going on in the front of both cabs, with things at 1/2
stud offsets, sitting sideways and who knows what else.

I'm not doing anything like that on my current project's cab, but I'm 95%
certain that I'm gonna break the habit of a life time and modify a part.
What I'm thinking of doing is splicing two windscreens together from the
Racing truck to form a longer one. As Jenifer said, it's an excellent set,
especially for parts. I was going to keep mine intact, but then I needed the
white curved pieces on the side pods (the same part Jennifer has used just
below where her windscreen would go). From their it was a slippery slope and
I just kept "borrowing" the odd part. Eventually I scrapped the whole model
for it's parts.

Like the others I'm dead keen to see the inside. I think Jennifer's has once
again pushed the barrier's on visual likeness as well as cramming the most
function's into the least space, which I regard as her speciality.

I wonder what she plans to build next?

Hi Shiri, Thanks for the reply! The problem with the corrugated tubes was finding a way of attaching them to traditional bricks in a seamless way. Usually an axle joiner and pin or similar is required, which works great in the normal technic style (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
