Well, with the overwhelming response of 1 person, I don't think I'm going to bother making these. Why should I spend thousands of dollars on injection-molds if there is no market? I guess all of the Nazi-purists don't want any (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Yeah, I used what I had laying around for the scenery. The Megabloks elements actually look a little "war torn" to me. All of these accessories will be ABS in the finished product. Colors have yet to be decided. Jeff (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Ryan, I find your project to be a satisfying actioner that is sure to please the main-line hot weather crowd. What else... well, it certainly is big! -The Monkey Pontiff (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Great Model! I particularly love how you used the 6x4 JSF canopys as the catalina's blister fairings. You may want to think about making the wing a plate or two thicker. This would eliminate the small wing droop your MOC is showing and, (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.military)

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?

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. (...)

(...) 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)
