(...) Hi Ross and Co... although I am not able to go to BrickVention... Can I make a few suggestions via email from my own experiences here in Europe as far as events go etc?

If you rotate and get lined up then drive forward, the castors will twist just enough to pull you off line. ...that could be contributing to the drunken lurching effect...

  rtl21 - Can Stacking
 
Hey folks, I had an idea for a new game, and I want to float it here--see if there's any interest. Previously, I had suggested a "can weighing" game. Whoever ends up with the heaviest can wins. This, in retrospect, isn't that interesting. My new (...) (19 years ago, 2-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Do you have WIP pics of the dropship? One idea I've been tossing around as a project that could work for you is the squad emerging from a crashed dropship. That would solve time and parts constraints. Fradel (19 years ago, 2-Mar-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
