  Re: mini Fabfigs & Elvis
 
(...) Pop, pop... Aha, cool! Something else to try - a Fabuland head looks decent on Hagrid's body. Also, Hagrid's head and hair looks decent on a Fabuland body. Ok, looks like I'll be in the market for a few more Fabuland figs. Frank (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.fabuland)
 
  Re: USS Fletcher for public display
 
(...) Lego Shop at Home for grey brick. OK not very cheap but they are available. Starwars models for other grey and dark grey parts. I always look for bargain prices. Mattias (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: Engineering difficulties
 
(...) Yeah, it came out nicely. (...) And only two engines, as I recall. I'm surprised. Pulling something that big & heavy through of the water would take a lot of HP. (...) Turrets are a big challenge. I wish you luck. (...) I'd suggest doing that (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: P-40 Warhawk [revisited]
 
(...) I see. I believe that the actual P-40's engine did not turn, though. The rotary engines where the entire engine turned were common in WWI, but not WWII. It would be tricky to get the same visual design without having the engine rotate though. (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: USS Fletcher for public display
 
(...) Where did you get so many grey pieces? I have a fair number of grey plates (from Classic Space sets), but few bricks. --Bill. (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

  Re: USS Fletcher for public display
 
(...) Thank you Bill, I am glad you like. One good thing about modeling warships is there so are so many originals of different sizes suitable for small and large collections of grey pieces. Mattias (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: P-40 Warhawk [revisited]
 
(...) The entire piece is mounted upon a 2x1 brick with a hole in it. I got a four bump long pin in there, holding the cylinder, the propellor, and the spinner, so yes, it does indeed turn. ~Drew (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: Engineering difficulties
 
(...) Yes, it was. I finally decided on using a click hinge to hold the tailfin in a vertical position. I'm quite pleased with the end results. (...) You are correct - the PBY Catalina has a wingspan of 104 feet, and a length of 63 feet, just a (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Engineering difficulties
 
(...) I think your latest version is quite good... I assume this was posted before you had that worked out? (...) With my PB4Y, I found that the landing gear wasn't strong enough to hold up the plane, so I cheated and built a display stand for it. (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: USS Fletcher for public display
 
(...) Very sleek and powerful looking. You really captured the essense of the original, I think. --Bill. (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

  Re: P-40 Warhawk [revisited]
 
(...) Very nifty! I like the way you did the engine (does the 4x4 cylinder piece turn?), and I love the gun sight in front of the cockpit. --Bill. (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  NEW custom; UCS Cloud Car

  Re: mini Fabfigs & Elvis
 
(...) The white cat head was the one without a body and a neck broken off level with the head. The beige rabbit head came off easily without even popping the neck from the body, so all parts are in perfect condition and the figure can be (...)

  Re: mini Fabfigs & Elvis
 
(...) I know one of the Fabuland heads you sacrificed was already busted, did you find some more busted ones, or did you sacrifice some of your more "floppy" heads? I'm really considering doing a few of these mods. Frank (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.fabuland)
 
  Re: My next mecha...
 
(...) Cool! It has a nice sleek look to it, as if it could run at amazing speed, the legs are very well designed, pretty cool idea, I'd hate to be on the wrong end of that "mecha rush" ;-) Keep it up! -Geordan- (23 years ago, 10-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
 
  I did it!
 
Thanks for the tips, Fiddled around in Image composer and came up with this, I used the pick points and cut thing, it didn't take too long, but everytime I'd get what I wanted with the magic wand, and I'd click cutout, it wouldn't cut out, just go (...)
