Thanks a lot Jim, I first built the bomb caches, and then saw that I could add the wings on the side, and yada, yada, yada, ended up with the "Mosquito"! Hope that was as vague as it could be... ;-) (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.build)

I suppose I'm offering criticism, but please accept it as constructive :) IMO, the ship looks a bit too "flimsy" to withstand the high-G forces of high-speed flight. Your ship looks like more of a lo-G glider to my eye. I tend to build mine SOLID (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

Hi Dave, Your mecha are beautiful as always, but I have a couple of questions: 1) Doesn't the use of a single peg at the shoulder make your mecha difficult to pose? It seems like they'd fall apart if you try to extend the arm forward. Do you use the (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build)

I have a tough time describing the parts I use, but I'll give it a whirl. I've found the best hip joints are the black technic peg hinges. They consist of 2 parts, on one end of each part is a half technic peg and the other is a 3 or 2 finger hinge. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build)
