Hi Masterbuilder Mr Tosiaki (...) Thank you for the dat-files. Your solution to the suspension / wheel arrangement for the Sherman tank is really clever and elegant.

Hey'all! It's been awhile since I posted a new mecha, but here it is, the Byzantine Tiger, (yes it's the same one as in my story) I don't really like giving a explanation for my mecha anymore, but this one sort of begs it so here goes, My (...)

(...) Here's a quick mock-up of a fuselage cross I've been planning to put on my own Bf-109 in progress. It keeps the fuselage small, and rounded. Rather than have the tiles on top, one might even get away with 1x2 plates-with-center-stud, and a 1xn (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) The Star Wars canopy isn't entirely accurate. The BF 109's front windshield was a lot steeper then the SW canopy's is. I honestly don't think that, at this scale, a side-opening canopy is even possible. Fuselage crosses? I'd have to change the (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Normally, I'd just sit back and silently admire someone's efforts, but as model aircraft are a long-time obsession of mine (35+ years) I have to say: I am in awe. Given the inherent limitations imposed by the medium, this is amazing. (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
