I’ve built two more armored vehicles, the Beetle armored recovery vehicle and the Lion self-propelled artillery gun: The CBU Beetle is an Armored Combat Engineer Vehicle.

(...) I have tried 2 workarounds for the lack of such a piece: 1. Fill in the valley where such piece would go with one 1x3 slope plus 1x1 plates and tiles to approximate. (I like Tim's mention of the new 1x1 slopes here). Result: not too great. 2. (...) (17 years ago, 17-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

Hi Magnus, that sounds like a wonderful plan. I think the AMCP is a fun project and I hope this year you have great display. Kudos to the builders, and the Mechahub for helping to bring this all about. Glad to see the folks who build town help out (...) (17 years ago, 17-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hi all Mecha builders, I have been asked to organize a Apocalyptic Mecha City Project (AMCP) display for BrickFair in Northern Virginia this summer.

(...) Angling some wing plates is the only solution I'm aware of and it's not that great IMO. Basically it's a nasty problem. You may be able to try something tricky with 1x1 slopes too. Tim (17 years ago, 16-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

(...) Duane, a 3x3 (double concave) 33 degree "valley" slope has not yet been produced by LEGO. Neither has a 1x2 (triple) 33 degree half pyramid roof peak, nor the parts needed for an "L" or "T" roof ridge. So that makes it difficult to produce a (...)
