That is one, cool model, Eric. Those click-hinges look like they
work real well for that type of thing, it makes it very posable as you
mentioned. The number of different ways the legs could be positioned

I for one have become a big fan of the click-hinges.  Occasionally they do • seem

the X-Wing wings they are great.  Their strengh became quite apparent in my

I just wish there were more colors of click-hinges as well as more • click-hinge
plates.  I guess it is a relatively new part so hopefully time will help
increase their variety.


In the 2000 town construction digger, there appear to be a couple new
click-hing plates.  Of course they are yellow, which may not be much help to
you.  But I'm sure they will show up in SW as well.  I just wish they would
quit using them for cockpits.  They are too strong for cockpits, and take up
too much room.  The X-wing cockpit would be more usefull if it was hinged like
other cockpit pieces.
