I finally got around to posting some pics of a couple of models I have • built.

The first one is an alternate model for 8448 Super Street Sensation.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6298
I built it about a year and a half ago for the contest they had online at
lego.com, but they discontinued the contest by the time I built it.  The
only parts not from 8448 are the obvious wheels from the Power Puller.  I
didn't have that set when I built the model, but it looks much better now
with the big wheels.  I only have two of the big wheels, so I had to shift
them around for the different pictures.  The suspension is a little low • for
these wheels, but I didn't feel like tearing it apart to fix that problem.
The chassis is almost unchanged from the original sports car, so the • seats,
engine, and ground clearance are a litte low too.  I was mostly concerned
with creating a new body on the existing chassis.  It is a pretty sturdy
model, and the suspension can be compressed by pushing down on basically • any
part of the body or roll cage.  This was my first major endeavor after my
dark ages, and I am pretty proud of it.

The second one is a MOC built from the parts from the 6 Toa and 6 Turaga.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6132
I started with the dog, but I had a lot of parts left after it was • finished,
including enough to basically rebuild Tahu, Gali, and Lewa, so I ended up
making a full battle scene with the extra parts.  The extra object on the
right in the scenes is supposed to be a small tree, with the masks having
"grown" from it and fallen off, but that is a little hard to make out in • the
pictures.  The tree was a late afterthought using some of the scrap parts.
It ended up looking sort of stupid, but oh well.

Thanks. For the Jeep, I made sure I got the grill, headlights, and fender flares pretty close to right to make sure it would be recognizable. I added some more pics after my initial posting that have better lighting and improved detail and color. (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, lugnet.technic.bionicle)
