(...) Amazing stuff! I've built a remarkably similar jeep (in black), but mine is a little bigger and uses lots of curves and tiles for a smoother finish. I guess it's still a work in progress, though, since I've got one big problem: I need a 6-wide (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

Hey all, I'd like to do a minifig self-portrait one of these days, but I'm in need of a head that has glasses (not sunglasses) but no facial hair.

Cool! Now you need an appearance package: - low profile wheels from the 8848 - the smaller technic shocks (for lowering the ride height) - some ground effects (maybe using some body panels like in the 8448, but in black) - a coffee-can sized muffler (...)

Looking at the dimensions for the real world halftrack (2.10 m wide), it is painfully clear that even the width is too large - so the conclusion is, my halftrack is *about* minifig scale, and (...)
