| I've just finished uploading the rest of the related pictures to the Scorpion. Once I had the Scorpions built, I decided they needed to have a field delivery system and so the Condor was born: (URL) wings are variable position depending on flight (...)

| (...) This is really, really good, Joel! The tanks are very visually appealing, and they make a good use of the the artic components. The condor has a good 'swooshable' rating - everything bends and moves depending on the mode that it's in. If there (...) (24 years ago, 17-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

| (...) <snipped> (...) Thanks, Trevor. :) The Condor is .fairly. swooshable. It's best to 'swoosh' with the troop module or a Scorpion in the 'bay' as it makes things more sturdy. I've considered trying to make a 'handle' that locked in just as the (...) (24 years ago, 17-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

Love the group photos showing the infantry and hardware. HISS tanks! Did you know you were (...) (24 years ago, 17-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

| (...) Oh very nice. I like the way the wings can angle (reminds me of the Nazi plane thing from Raiders of the Lost Ark) and I like the li'l gap in the front of the wing that forms an air intake for when your engines are in flight configuration. The (...) (24 years ago, 17-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

It was an intentional thing, yes. :) GI Joe was one of the two rivals to my LEGO collection as a kid. :) I've made GI Joe vehicles before, but these turned out the best of any I've done to date. I think I'll be (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

One that I liked as a toy when I was a kid was that Joe HAVOC battlefield transport. I (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

| (...) Thanks, Mark. :) I knew that the wing design was inspired from someplace. ;) Thanks for jogging my memory. It was indeed the big plane from 'Raiders, now that I think about it. I just knew it looked 'right'. :) The engines were a lot of fun to (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

I don't know as I've set my sights on TGD, but I've certainly been working towards securing my slice of the star system. :) Joel J (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
