| (...) Well, nobody knows the model better than you... But you wouldn't have a picture of it? (I believe you're right about the wints, but I'd still like to see how the frontlights turned out) And you have to do a lot better (worse) than that to fool (...)

|
| (...) Thanks Allan! I love to build alt models of official sets ;-) I've made many others including this 4403 alternate: (URL) It may look like the original helicopter, but it's definately not! It's a complete new design. All my older models - (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space, FTX)

To answer your question: Yes there are 2 of these engines in this set. Ok. Actually it's not a first timer, but it (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space, FTX)

I thought it was really creative but it didn't look right to me, cause I've always seen them as the smiley/frowny bricks. I found (...) (22 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| Eric- What a great concept! And implementation! And effect! You cut to the heart of what makes a really cool MOC. I'm certainly going to want to put some cows in our pasteur when I get back from BF. -Ted Michon SCLTC (22 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.trains, FTX)

Truly, imho, it's MOCs like that, that will make HO modelers think twice about the "limitations of the brick". Way to go! Nicely (...)

| (...) Thanks :) (...) Well, the only limit I see is from the power of the RCX and/or its number of outputs. You can easely modify the programm, by example in order to add sensors or outputs to control 3 or more cows. For my part, I have only two (...)

| Really nice Moc. The nose reminds me of my MG3k... If you're interested in feedback, I'd suggest that you remove the 1x3 bricks from the wings and move the black "guns" up in front of the 75 degree slopes to break the otherwise flat (unaerodynamic) (...)
