Thanks! Engines have been a new focus for me- until recently I've just
slapped some 4x4 cones onto the back of whatever I'm making. But I'm very
consciously experimenting with them now. I even damaged a piece in the
construction of the Roadster's engine.
That steering wheel thing that the thruster vanes clip to has an oversized
stud- the round 1x1 that is snapped onto it has a crack around the base.
The 1x1 cone on top of it has a similar crack, as I tried this out on it
before putting the other piece on. I noticed how hard it was to put the
piece on, but didn't realize until later that I had actually hurt the
pieces. What the heck is up with the wacky tolerances?

| Yeah, I noticed that too a couple of weeks ago. I also damaged several pieces before finally realizing that LEGO made some major size errors with this piece. :-( Anyways, it's great to see you actually putting some thought in the engines, very few (...)

| (...) Yup, those look more interesting than simple 4x4 cones slapped on the back (which unfortunately, is what I still do =p). I especially like the Space Tug: good use of those podracer fins (aren't you glad they come in grey now?!). The 45 degree (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
