I have finally finished updating my web page to add my newest creation, a Technic figure scale WW2 Era P-51 Mustang, just in time to commemorate the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

(...) Woah that's a really nice model! The working features are just stunning. I am envious of people that can fit motors, gears, etc. inside the constricting body/frame of whatever they're building. The accident pictures were hilarious too! I guess (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic)

That is a masterpiece! I think you have used every mechanical element in Technic. I especially like the way you documented the model. I like to see Lego that is functional and you sure know how to do that. -- Bob Fay rfay@we.mediaone.net The Shop (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Well, my problem was that I failed to adequately strengthen the joint between the nose and tail, thus when I was carrying the plane out to the driveway to photograph it, I was holding it in both hands. I needed to open the door, so I let go of (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I had considered building a propellor, but decided that after I had done a couple, I didn't like the way they looked. The 3 blade propellor is actually inaccurate. The real P-51 has a 2 blade propellor, and it's much larger than the one shown, (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic)
