I can't think of any small sets. Ironically, the smallest technic beam
seems to usually come in the largest sets. (Flying Ninja's Fortress,
for example)

This reminds me alot of the way I sometimes design stuff. I can't wait
to see the finished model.

Something I haven't seen anybody do yet, and I can't do, 'cause I don't
have enough antenna/control sticks, is to use the bases of the control
sticks for the nose cones of missiles. I think it would look very
reminiscent of the Robotech missiles coming out of a Desdroid's rocket
pods. (I think the slots in front look like viewports for electronic
sensors.) Just a thought. If nobody does this, I'll do it myself when
I get enough parts.

| (...) Actually, you can get at least 2 of those, IIRC, in the Blaze Attack set. I use tons of those and I think that was the best value I could find on short notice. Best of luck. Jeremiah "I'll work on my site someday, I swear!" VanderMark (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

They seemed to include those with almost every space set back when that part was new. I only hope I have enough of the same color. (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
