I went through a military building phase about a year ago. Here's some of the stuff I built circa 11/2002 . . . Russian T-34 (URL) III (URL) a super deformed Panzer III(aka squished) (URL) did a lot more stuff(sherman, panzer4, tiger, panther, (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military) !

(...) Thanks Gil! I was pretty happy with the look of the bombs. Unfortunately, I liked them too much to shorten them - which led to the use of the slope-plate, making room for the bombs to be held. The whole bomb bay assembly is built upside down, (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Thanks Derek! The back story on the W - I was using red for the trim color, to match the red in the M-Tron hinge panels over the rear landing gear. I wanted a logo on the wing, because many other CS MOC's had some sort of flag insignia built (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the compliments Mark. And thanks for the CS Universe link - it was a great source of inspiration & back story. And it shows that even propellers can be cool! -nk (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) This is a really nice build, Nick. Using the drk grey plates to frame the light grey ones gives the wings a great depth. And I have to say that those vintage-looking heavy bombs are...well...the bomb. Just wondering...why is that plate (...) (21 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Hi I feel the need to "exorcise" a MOC that has been the result of a busy period with little time for creation but a few snatched moments of tinkering. How many of you out there build something and then rebuild tens of times? I am guessing quite a (...) (21 years ago, 30-Nov-03, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Very cool. I especially like the modularity and the design of the large bombs. And as the GA notes, the "W" from M-Tron is inspired. Was that coincidence, or did you decide on a Wyoming theme based on that element (and the fact that Wyoming (...) (21 years ago, 30-Nov-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) (snip) Way cool, Nick. I like the wing shape you have created. I also like how you have used the M-Tron logo upside down as a W. The folding landing gears look great. -Grand Admiral .space Curator (URL) (21 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Hey Mark, You know what? I agree with you. Unfortunately, I never thought I'd be doing ww2-esque fighters, and so I dont have any tri-props in the correct size. I do have some, but they look so small as to be laughable. When I get some new (...) (21 years ago, 26-Nov-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

I do think it would look nicer with triple blade prop. Can't wait (...) (21 years ago, 26-Nov-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Still a great-looking plane which would make a fantastic Lego set IMO. Cheers, (URL) (...) (21 years ago, 26-Nov-03, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
