Very cool, Tony.  I really like the look of this one.

A fine twist on Mladen's design.  Question:  how are those levers connected?
Do the technic bushings grab the handles by snapping into the 'X' channels?
This is how the levers connect:

I first saw this a long time ago- I believe it was from a post that you
wrote, Gil.  It was about a few Japenese websites- and one of them had a
cool semi-mecha that used the lever-joint idea.  I belive the MOC had
connotations to a bee.

The bushings I believe are there to make shure that the bases don't slide
too much- not to mention they look cool.



Next is a motorcycle. This is the son of the Truck I made a few weeks ago.

Really cool.  The color and the SNOT gives this a really cool, sleek look.
Same with your truck.

Finally I give you the Skidcraft, my competitor to the Scumcraft, but not as
cool!

Very cool!
Green is a nice color.  You've done well with it.  It's hard to do...  I
really like the compact shape.  It's hard to make a compact but cool ship.

Good work!

Nice stuff as usual Tony... (snippage throughout) (...) Do the technic bushings grab the handles by snapping into the 'X' channels? (...) looks like something that could be disassembled as part of one of Jon's PlanoKits. (...) Cheers, -G (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)
