(...) Hi Daniel, Sorry to bust in on the exchange here, but I'd thought I might be able to answer your question. Military building is not my particular area of brickness (especially scale), but I was in the U.S. Navy back in the late 1980's and (...) (19 years ago, 2-Mar-06, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Well done. Good use of new grey (if only Lego would keep old alive too). I especially like how you did the wheels and undercarriage - very nice. I wonder if it would look good with those wheels scaled down to 6 wide? -Matt :) (19 years ago, 27-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.modelteam, FTX)
