I've completed the 20 main ribs, and am in the process of flushing out the contours between them. It's actually pretty satisfying, given that (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) I tried it also, but I didn't succeed either. It is quite easy to remove the legs from Mickey, the black pin has to be pushed out and the legs are separated from the body. Looking inside the body it looks like the arms can't be removed. It (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.fabuland)

(...) 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)

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)

(...) 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)
