(...) Magnus, These are great, I know I've tried my hand at armored vehicles, and the balance between playability, scale, and functionality is so hard to get just right. You got there just right. The last one also reminds me of the Crusader cannon, (...) (18 years ago, 21-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) I'm glad you like it. (...) I missed the fact that there are two 'figs in the turret. Knowing that, I think you've done an excellent job. Just remember that panels are useful in so many different orientations... Jonesy tought me that. -Duane (18 years ago, 19-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

Duane, Thanks for responding, I'm a big fan of (and very inspired by) your motorized tank! (...) Nice work! The Bulldog and Badger both have two guys in their turrets and I got them as compact (narrow) as I could. The MCV turret is seven bricks wide (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

Marc, Good to see you online, thanks for your comments! (...) The turret on the Bulldog is in front of the motor, so there isn't much space to move it back without changing lots of stuff on the inside. The barrel was built to not extend beyond the (...)

(...) Nice hatch for the driver. The car doors as the shield on the APC are simple but effective. I really like the green pyramid on the main gun, but it might look better if you moved it back a couple of plates and lengthened the rest of the (...)

Hello all, This past year I've taken a break from Castle-building and have taken on modern military style MOCs, many of which were inspired by my stint in the Norwegian Army almost ten years ago. Military MOCs often end up a little too big for the (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.announce.moc) !

Hi, Thanks for everyone for advice ad suggestions. (...) Usually the treads just don't find purchase, but I was up til 2am last night experimenting, and think I have figured out that by adding weight to the front of the chassis and suspension on the (...)

In many cases, if you want something to be really nicely shaped, (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

Hello, I can only echo sentiments there are some very nice fighter MOCs here and it's nice to see build.military get a little more activity of late. I used to build lots of fighter planes a lot as a teen, and while I don't think I ever approached (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

Hi Ryan and Ralph I think you both build great models of modern jets. Also good to see this group becoming more active. A question to both of you what scale do you aim for?
