(...) Oh nice...the APC really has me. Is that a technic turntable for the turret? It's so simple, and beefy. I also quite like the fly wheels inside the wheel hubs. Probes. *shudder* Great stuff as usual Soren. Cheers, -Gil (20 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

I love the APC: it's beautiful. It has a great System look. I look foward to seeing the interior—it would definitely be worth the effort working one out. The color scheme of the robriq is really cool. The shape reminds me of a whale. Nice builds. (...) (20 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Hi Christian "Sweep and Taper" sounds like a weekend of frustration! :) But you are right and I think I will go for it with SNOT. It was useful to read both yours and Lindsay's comments!

(...) Yes--the "straightness" was also my big concern.

(...) It will tricky though. Sweep and taper is not easy to do. While you are at it, more red on the tails please. And those might need to extend further aft. That would also help soften the "straightness". Christian (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

(...) Excellent idea. As you write the best part is the rear gunner. I am looking forward to seing more pictures. However I think that the planform is too straight. The wings needs to be swept back and maybe more tapering. Christian (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

PITSCO Lego DACTA sells the wider tracks at $9.00 US for 36 links, and the smaller tracks at $9.00 for 105 links. That's just off the top of my head. Kind of expensive, but mint condition... Your call. Soren (20 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.build.military)
