The wheels don't look too bad. I really like the doors. Does anyone else like Humvees better? I think that the full-cab look is just better looking. At the moment I'm working on a '78 Firebird in the same scale. lets hope I can pull it of 8) <<KM>> (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

As a result of my own small FOTW, I've suddenly come up with the need to know about fixing armless minifigs. I got a goodly pile of 1970s-80s era figs in multiple themes from a thrift shop, but some of them are armless and/or handless. I was more (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
