I'm kinda sorry Mark, got to carried away. To tell you the truth I would like to see more people using LEGO CAD programs, because then I could actually see how peoples models are built, and learn something from it. I too, really don't mind real (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

With CO2, you punch a small hole in the back of the cartridge. We made CO2 cars in shop in middle school. You punch a hole, then let it go. I'll bet if you look up CO2 car on the net, you'll find an explanation. (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)

I've found that a bit o' Brasso on a Q-Tip works better than an X-Acto knife for removing microphones... not as much scarring.
