| (...) Oh wow... Great model, and great photography! I'm totally amazed at people who can build in Technic, and it's even more impressive that you only used parts from 8436! Looks like an official model. Instructions? :) -Bryan (21 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)

Maybe now you can start building construction vehicles. I assume you did not use a winch (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)

| (...) I personally advocate 1 stud to the foot, which is about 1:38. If the stud size is exactly 8mm then it's 1:38.1. If a stud size is 5/16" then it's 1:38.4. There's little difference between the two, unless you build something 14630 plates high (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

| (...) If you use 1 inch = 1 meter, a minifig is about 4 1/2 feet tall, a good size to relate to kids, I think. Then use four studs = one "inch", or one meter. It's not really accurate, but it sure is easy! Tim (Smith) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)
