I started building with Lego again in december 2000 and around that time I "discovered" the online Lego community (LUGNET, Brickshelf, etc). The past 7 months I just have been reading here and didn't post at all. So this is my first post. In the (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.build)

WOW! You've captured the look of the marine transporter perfectly. I love all the designs from FF, especially Zeus. I was drooling every time it was shown...

I saw this last night and I must say, it's pretty cool! I like all the features you crammed into the model. The movable wings are great, as is the landing gear. The opening cockpit reminds me of the Daredevil Flight Squad set (6582). Anyways, great (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.build)

It is a very nice job. In my traveling around D.C. on a nearly daily basis (not on the metro, but around it in my car) you can see how close it is to the rreal thing. What would be nice is if it could be modified to be put on a monorail base which (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

I'm not Kevin, but I've certainly ridden the metro enough to answer :) The real Metro does sit very high on the trucks - it's not very noticable when you're on the platform. If you're in a station like metro center, where both tracks are in the (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
