Wow... where do you get the "hazard stripe" and 2x1 double ended click
hinges from?  I've been toying around with click hinges myself, and have
realized that I often get stuck due to a lack of small pieces such at those.

And... wow again.  The tbird's kinda scary, in that you managed to pull it
off.  Most of my attempts are in making transformable mecha (without popping
off any pieces, at that) so I usually don't have the luxury of working at
such a large scale, due to the potential for joint stress.

Sure, give it a shot.  I know the tricky part will be getting the holes to
line up, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.  Be sure to let us know • how
it goes.

Thank you, Mark, for all those tips. I hadn't thought of gearboxes in the

I have an idea for "parking" the mech I'm working on. I was thinking that • in
the gearbox I could have one of the gear holes line up with a technic • hole
(in a certain position) so I could insert a Technic pin. This would hold • the
legs in place for more stability. Do think it'll work?

Thanks,
