|
The other day I was looking through my collection of minifig tools, which I don´t use too much, BTW. As most people will have realized, most of these tools are much too large for minifig scale. I.e. the walkie-talkie, which is almost as long as the (...) (26 years ago, 5-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Well, the Space Shuttle, 8480 is at minifig scale. Wouldn't it be nice to have a Space Shuttle at technifig scale? Of course if you really wanted to, you could add the booster rockets and the transportation platform as well. Now that would be (...) (26 years ago, 5-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) How do you connect things to the rounded end of the large suspender, BTW? And prevent it from turning around, I mean? Is that flexible hose helpful? Fredrik (26 years ago, 6-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) No, I wasn't being clear at all... In the image (URL) looks like there are some guns connected to the rounded ends of a couple of large suspenders. Now, connecting anything to the rounded end will let it "swivel" around, due to the lack of a (...) (26 years ago, 8-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Think, think, think.... A-HA! I get it. I was hung-up on your term "suspenders". You mean the large Technic springs (or as I would call them, shock absorbers). I used a 4595.dat Brick 1 x 2 x 2/3 with Studs on Sides between them so each (...) (26 years ago, 9-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Duh, yes. Sorry for the confusion. Shock absorber seems like a much better term. (...) I see. Personally, I don't like so much to put studs into axle holes, as I feel that the studs are a little bit too wide, and may thus cause wear in the (...) (26 years ago, 10-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

Actually I'm not sure since I didn't check but as I remember, some models by me on Leocad model gallery page are suitable for technifigs. Checkout agricultural aircraft, Siat 223, attack helicopter, and colonial viper. At least all of them except (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)
