  tightening up mecha joints
 
What's the best way to tighten up technic friction pin joints used for mecha? I have an old-style technic pin (a little tighter than the newer ones with the rectangular cutouts) holding the shoulders and hips of my new mech together. The shoulders (...)

(...) Great job Randy, looks like he's practicing good gun control(i.e. how to point, aim, and fire! He'd intimidate even a Columbian drug lord. These LEGO's are truly amazing. -Harvey (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)

  Re: Lego Measurements?
 
(...) Thanks! That means that I'm looking at my tank to be about 27 studs long (1). The treads would turn out to be about 18 studs. Would anyone know if the Arctic/Adventurer treads would fit that?

  Primus BuS' Marauder (Hey, Primus)
 
I built the Marauder, as you've probably heard, and did my best to 'colorize' it in a grey/dark grey color scheme..... and then used it at the BrikWar event. Man, I'm glad I did that - the Marauder layed waste to 60% of Greg Majewski's army, and (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
