| Oops! Sorry, Fredrik, I forgot to mention you - I've been good up to this point, but it seems I skipped over appropriate crediting this morning.

| (...) Me too. I only have two, in black, and I have to admit that I fid it indispensible for minifig designing- things like heavy weapons a la _Aliens_, angel wings, duel katana holders, etc etc etc. It's a pain to have to keep swapping them out for (...)

So, of course, I went and made some further adaptions (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

| (...) I'm happy to hear that you were inspired by it! That's why I post models on the web (and LUGNET), in the first place! I didn't add the tools myself because I found them a bit too large (and many weren't available in LDraw). I thought about (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

| aw, man, i love it when we get a .dat file (to see the making of a great model so i can make some at home). i particularly like the way you used the hinged plates to effect the fenders of the jeep, fredrik. your original model is an excellent basic (...)

| (...) That jeep looks familiar: (URL) I modeled it after a Vietnam era jeep, not a WWII one. But they are quite similar! Also, I don't care much for minifig scale, so I didn't model it for the minifigs. But it appears to work pretty well anyway. (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
