I just received one of those red legoland semis from LSAH. And It occurs to me that this cute little set would be about 100 times better if it were perfectly scaled to a minifig (instead of being a sort of half-width truck). I haven't really done (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jun-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) It's a bit off-topic, but for extending the range of motion past 90 degrees, you might want to look at my excavator model. There are basically three kinds of pneumatic linkages illustrated, and I think the ones you want to look at closely are (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jun-99, to lugnet.build)

My Millennium Falcon model has four landing gear that retract and lower with pnuematic cylinders. The scale seems to be close to what you are looking for. In order to be successful though, I needed six bricks of clearance in the stowed position. You (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jun-99, to lugnet.build)
