Howdy, I just posted some pictures of my developing attempt to model a Boeing E-3A Sentry AWACS (I think it stands for Airborn Warning and Control System).

Cool idea. I think I tend to be overly anal about correct color matching, so I often overlook the use of multi-colored "scrap" even when it won't show. I really need to go this route because it's too expensive to build structural members so that (...) (24 years ago, 13-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

Rick Nice. I like the black and white legs--reminds me of some kinda Dr. Seuss patterned creature. I'm glad the parts you traded with me went to cool use. And I can't wait to meet it. Cute name, too. Henry (24 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I wouldn't try to hold the model by one wing, but then again, you wouldn't do that for (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.publish, lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

I think that the technic beams method is the best, but there's also another one you can use if you have lots of plates. First, make your roof shape out of plates: this is your roof's first layer. Use only plates of the same color as your roof and (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

That's a pretty interesting discussion! I suspect that your beams would be much stronger if you used the 1/3 high bricks instead of the standard 1 brick high. I have noticed that the 1/3 size bricks bind considerably more tightly than the full size (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.arch)
