(...) I was aware of that while writing but figured it would just confuse the issue more. Let's face it, if we cared that much about scale (some excepted) we wouldn't be building with Lego, we'd choose some other medium. Tim (19 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.build, FTX)

Hi Welshie, (...) On the contrary, your question is the crux of the issue, that being scale in the LEGO Minifig world. I am going to base my answer on a few assumptions, so please forgive me if pass along some data which you already know. "Studs" (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.build, FTX)

Do you have WIP pics of the dropship? One idea I've been tossing around as a project that could work for you is the squad emerging from a crashed dropship. That would solve time and parts constraints. Fradel (19 years ago, 2-Mar-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
