How did you make the, hmmm, 3x3 curved thingy fit the front of the engine? I
saw in Ryan Wood’s
misc folder a way to do it, having your name. Is that the way? I found an
other way, but it’s not strong enough. It uses the exhaust pipe I got with
one of the racer bikes (you can see that part
here
when Tofu is wearing her space suit). I’ll try to take some pics and post
them here anyway.

Ryan’s assembly is a way that he worked out, and yes he did name it after me
(whatta guy :) although I’ll let him comment on his own experimentation
process.
The way he figured out is not the way I did it. I didn’t use the part you
mention either. But since there seems to be more than one way to do it, I’m
not going to divulge my method here just yet: I want to see how others do it
:-)

Final word : I have to try and build this one, the SNOT you use to hold /
open the canopy looks very interesting.
|
It was fun to figure out, and for that scale and functionality, SNOT is the
only way to go.

Like Tom says, experiment with it. Try and find new ways to do it. Between he
and I, we have two solid ways of making those two pieces fit together, and I’m
willing to bet that someone will come up with some other surprise technique to
make it work.
My method owes partial credit to Steve Runnels who suggested tires to hold the
elements together. As you can see, that’s the key for my trick. If you haven’t
tried it for yourself already, its pretty strong; those pieces arent going
anywhere, short of a smash on the floor. I replicated Tom’s technique (which
he’ll cough up for you guys eventually) and his works very well too. The tire in
my trick holds the two pieces together slightly stronger than his method.
I forgot to delete those pics out of my gallery, I had meant to wait until Tom
debuted his moc and shared his genious idea. whoops :-S
