(...) The Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II's primary gun is the General Electric GAU- 8/A 30-mm cannon. And Mark is correct, it does have 7 barrels. The A- 10 "Warthog" is also capable of carring up to 15,950 lbs. of weapons. The aircraft's FAC load (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

(...) Wouldn't a cannon made from the 3x3 medium technic pulley be a bit too large for minifig scale? How about simply using a single black technic axle? It doesn't have six edges, but it has four, which may give the correct impression. Or have I (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Most hated Minifig?
 
(...) I must have a battalion of Willas. I bought 30 copiues of the Fright Force alone when it was on sale to build up my medieval army. It's not the crystal ball, it isn't the hat, it isn't the body, it isn't the broom. It's that head! One or two (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

  Re: My Capital Ships! AT LONG LAST!!!!
 
Well I apologize Josiah, I truly am sorry. And I just have a different opinion of the US army than you. I apologize to you and to Rick, you two should have all the freedom to post whatever you like, I'm not to judge whether a model is good/bad, it's (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)
