Greetings! I've got a Gallery on Brickshelf if anyone's interested. Not a lot up right now but that will change soon. (URL) comments are appreciated. Take care, Soren (22 years ago, 22-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Looks excellent Phil...that canopy really lends well to the chopper form. The detailing on this is particularily nice - the gearing around the heat exhaust, the classic space balloon tires and the clustered weapons package...all makes for a tight (...)

This is too big to even comment on effectively. I could spend hours pouring ove the details of the deck and the functionality of the midship compartments alone (and probably will). Not to mention the historical detail...right down to the (...) (22 years ago, 21-Feb-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.boats)

Hi! I just bought a soccer set, 3421. The mountings for the goalies looks amazingly like mountings for AA guns: (URL) light gun for a minifig, or maybe a german 88mm AA gun in microfig scale? Does anybody know if this is available in colours other (...) (22 years ago, 21-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Hi all! As there is a lot of non-constructive chatting in lugnet.technic I figured I'd tell all what I'm planning. Here's the story: Back in 2000 I started on a big scale project, a Hercules in scale 1:20. It got "finished" in April the 8th 2001. (...)

(...) Wow, that's big! Same reason I'm not committing to anything bigger, at least until I buy a house first. (...) Have you tried burying a 4x4 turntable into the works, or even that huge technic turntable? There is also a pretty cool turntable in (...) (22 years ago, 21-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) To be "minifig scale" the ship would have had to be 22 feet long. That's a little bit big, unless I buy a minivan. ;) (...) That's always the limiting factor. It was for me, too.

(...) Yes, the barrels have that magical flex tubing holding them together. I added a few more snapshots to answer your question about the gun elevation to the gallery: (URL) ship is a Cleveland class cruiser from WW2. It will be about 3 meters long (...)

(...) Perhaps I'm being unrealistic, but I've scaled my plans to match the minifig (1 stud = 1 foot or 4 x 8 plate = 4 x 8 feet). The mounting may actually be slightly too big, because my plans were blown up from a really tiny drawing. Your own (...) (22 years ago, 16-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) tanks are always great, but the 40mm mount is the real star of this update. But then again, I'm biased. ;) I'm especially impressed that it's in actual minifig scale and not compressed. I've given some thought to making just a standalone (...) (22 years ago, 15-Feb-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)
