(Thanks to Dave
Hylands, who posted a lot of pictures at my request so that I may recreate the
functionailty of the 5571 in minifig-ish scale... mine has the opening hood,
steering, tools compartments all thanks to his love for taking detail shots
for me to base the mini one on).

The jet is nice of course, but I really like this truck.  Although it's a
little too big for minifigs, it's a great scale to build at!  (I've done a
couple vehicles[1] at that approximate scale, but I haven't (yet) tried to add
steering.  I think it might be just about as small as I could go and still
motorize the vehicle without losing too much control over shape.[2]
I'll have to build some others :)

   dictated by the motors...(It was fast though, as those at Brickfest saw...)

Hi all; I've been meaning to create a website for ages, but not having a camera (digital or otherwise) made it difficult. However, my thanks to fellow VLC'er Bryan Wong for bringing his digital camera to the last meeting, and subsequently posting my (...) (24 years ago, 11-Sep-00, to lugnet.build) !!
