(...) Hehe...thanks Jon. It's a great tribute to the excellent designs of the early Joe stuff that they stand up well on their own. And aye...a flight pod would solve many of my traffic problems. As would the missles and big honkin pea-shooter. ;) (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Thanks Joe! Because of it's small size, I really wanted to reduce the amount of showing studs on the finished product...they stand out so much on small MOC's. The Defiant is on the list....might be good justification for buying the new (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Dave, I've uploaded some pics of my pathetic MOC to Brickshelf with special attention the use of the tubes. I apologize ahead of time for the crappy pics.

Keith, I have no horse and I'm not high. I never said I was the arbiter of anything nor do I claim to be. You asked for unbiased opinions and you got mine. How can you possibly say you don't like it, Mr. Smack-Daddy? YOU ASKED FOR IT. And yes, Mark, (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Originally I thought of using 2x1 plates with one stud to get a 1/2 stud value, but your 6/5/5 idea is probably (much) better. The precise value is 6/5.1/5.1 so here the pentagons will be taut and flat. There is probably enough slack in the (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

(...) Thanks! I was very surprised at the strength of Steve's method of joining the triangles. If you're making something *really* large, you might have to brace each triangle with a second set of hinges on the corners. Don't know how well it shows (...)

I want to experiment with other triangle sizes, and see what happens and what (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)
