Hi folks,
I've just put a new website online with a couple of my recent Technic
creations, a "technic figure scale" skid steer loader and a mobile
crane. The loader is fully operated by pneumatics and motors, and the
crane by motors. I've put a lot of effort into the appearance of the
models as well as the mechanics, so hopefully there will be something
there for more traditional Lego modellers as well as Technic fans. The
URL is:

Let me know what you think...

| Jennifer, They are amazing. Jut reminds me the good old days of technic, when most of the models were both functioning and beautifully looking. By the way, honey, I've never seen a woman before making crane mechanics her hobby. I just amazed..:-) (...) (24 years ago, 2-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

| Not a lot more to add to the comments that are here already, all of which I agree with! It makes me want to go out and get a load of motors (I only have a couple) and start building some models with 'lives' of their own :-) Hope the thesis is coming (...)
