Alright i'm probably gonna get lynched for this one but here goes- does anybody
NOT use the click hinges for joints? i realize it is a great piece, but it seems
to me to be a little bit of a "cheat" if you will. of course i'm not condemning
anyone for it, but i would love to see a more creative hinge solution. just
asking- please prove me wrong. thanks. moish

| (...) anybody (...) To use a term I first saw right here on LUGNET, I would agree that click joints are a bit juniorized. But for someone like me (a limited selection of parts mostly from Star Wars kits, zero technic skills) the click hinge opens a (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
