 | | Brictoria Barracks is up and running
|
| G'day all, I've finally got some piccies together, and thought I'd try and get some input from other Lugnet-ers about what I've built (It's not all that much), and any ideas that could be used to improve the models. Although there's not too many (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

| (...) Now that is a PCS hardsuit. Very awesome job with the rework. I really like the look of the lower legs/feet and the back of the torso. All in all, very solid design. Nifty melee weapon he's got there, too. Some more designs like that, and you (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

|
| (...) Looks awesome, as all your MOC's One tip: the original rotor blades seem to be longer. Perhaps a Technic 3-blade rotor with some 1*8 tiles would do the trick. Other than that again you managed to capture the feel of the real machine judging by (...) (20 years ago, 30-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

| It has been a "mid-exam" productive weekend and the result is my version of the Focke Wulfe Autogyro Fw61. Like my earlier Kolibri I was hoping for a "as-near-as-damnit" representation.
