(...) Thanks Anthony! I get what you're saying about the guns. I would love to make long, round-barrelled guns, but LEGO only makes 1x1 or 2x2 rounded tubes. 1x1 is IMO too skinny for the primary cannons, and 2x2 is too fat. I really wish there was (...)

I just discovered a simple technique today for doing odd brick width SNOT, thus getting around the 2 in the 5:2 rule. I couldn't think of having seen it before so maybe it is new (although it seems unlikely). Anyway, I thought I'd share it since I (...)

I also added a shock to the downward joint to limit how far the joint can expand. There still (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
