Adrian, You've created two excellent forms with this guy, and at microfig scale too! The proportions are great (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Because the shoulder joints are in essence a series of 1 stud connections, they have a habit of separating if I'm not careful. And the head, which is also a single stud (...)

| Hey, that's awesome! I've tried to make some transformers myself, but I either make it too big and run out of parts or make it too small and it ends up sucking or being flimsy. I think you did a great job of keeping both forms seperate and distinct (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

| I don't know if there are any in current sets (they'd be Technic), but PITSCO/Lego Dacta (what would I do without them? :)) sells packs of one hundred and eight for roughly seven bucks. They've also got tread links, BTW. Take care, Soren (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

That way I don't have to worry about the legs dangling about while (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Unfortunately, I'm pushing the limits of my grey hinge collection, so the next one I build (and there WILL be a next one) will have to be some other color majority. (...)

The way the cockpit folds, the position of the nose, and in a small way the way the arms fold were influenced by the design of those old Transformers. Like you say, the (...)

If I tried to get that much detail and possability into a transforming jet I think it would end up being 20-wide (just the (...) (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)
