|
|
Hi all Happy new Lego year to you. I have opened 2003 with some new models of German WWII vehicles. The half-track SdKfz 251 and the armoured car SdKfz 222. I have been experimenting a little with different colours. Nowadays most parts are available (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.loc.se) !!

(...) Holy (very bad word)! Someone actually saw that!?!? Yeah, I'll have more stuff up as soon as I get my camera program fixed. No instructions yet, 'cause I own a Mac and can't use lDraw. (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) Yes, I do this all the time. One thing I've found though, is that using brick wrenches (what I call brick separators) can damage pieces when used on the underside. So to reduce the likelihood, I apply the brick wrench near the edge of the (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)

as a matter of fact, all mammals have similar bone stuctures. if you compare a dog's leg and a human leg, you see that they both have knees, heels, and toes. the knee on a dog, like a human, bends forward. however, it looks like it bends backward.
