(...) I'm glad you like it. To answer your question: Since the most common tan piece seems to be the 2x4 brick, most of the exterior structure is made up of such brick. The walls, and so forth, are all 2x wide. The statue, however, is kind of heavy (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Thanks, Ken! I also thought about waiting to see if LEGO would release some sort of pedestal kit, but then decided that it probably wouldn't happen because of the limited market for it. I mean, the only people they would be selling to would be (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.arch)

it is the most advanced weapons platform ever concieved. it is nearly unstoppable, it's super-dense armor impervious to anything short of anti-tank weapons. it can go anywhere, and deliver a nuclear warhead to any target, undetected. it can operate (...)

(...) Indeed I do enjoy Nathan! What is the internal structure like? The guys at LLW said when they are doing buildings they put 2x bricks as bracing roughly every 10 studs, have you done something similar? If so I bet they aren't tan as you appear (...)

(...) Yeah, I keep fooling with this leg setup. I think I got it pretty good here though. The legs tilt and swivel at the hip, making it so no matter what the angle of the legs, the foot can stand flat. Also, because of the hip mobility, the body (...)

They allow for much more realistic structures and (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Hey, Richie, bearing Bryce's comment in mind, can I issue you a challenge? I use a 1:1.8 compression factor (effectively I work around 1/75 scale or so)--could you build the next Snottler iteration at that large a scale? I'm drooling over the (...)

I've said this before but the Snottler really is one of my favorite lego warships around. I particularly like seeing the design lineage of the various versions on the website. Judging by the Snottler's rate of growth the HMLS Snottler 4.0 should be (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)
