| (...) An excellent point. Looking at the MegaBloks military sets is just unpleasant. Not that they are necessarily bad in their own way, but the specialized pieces, particularily the ordinance/hardware look like non-construction parts tacked on. For (...)

With the introduction of "violent" sets, many are tempted to use "short-cut parts" for weapons. This part, for instance: (URL) I see a lot of (...)

At some point they simply have to go ahead and do it.. (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.military)

Solution: switch to an r2-d2 body instead like so: (2 URLs) This way, not only do you have your joint, but you have SNOT wherever you need it. It's (...)

I wonder what would happen if you put a 2x2 cylinder brick: [LDrawPart 3941:15] inside of a couple 1x4x1 arches: [LDrawPart 3659:15:2] Is that possible with some SNOT to hold the arches together? --Todd (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
