Hi! Great googly moogly, it's the incredible disappearing ship! (URL) 31 pictures; go in sequence (they don't list that way, sorry). If I can figure out how to make a slideshow, I'll do that eventually. The "joy" sequence must await a good (...) (23 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.boats, lugnet.pirates)

Very nice, Chris! I've been toying with the idea of building a Hind for some time now, and hopefully will get around to it by the summer in time for Brickfest. I don't know about that five bladed propeller, I'm tempted to just make it a fourbladed (...) (23 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.military)

Hi guys and girls. Any of you who follow the Star Wars line might already be aware of this, but Lego has a new color they are using in 7153 Jango Fett's Slave-1. Its a navy/dark blue that when I saw the pieces just SCREAMED out to be used in a late (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.military)

Building in the passenger capacity was fairly easy; the passengers themselves were the real surprise. Hasn't anybody else used M-Tron backpack harnesses to give minifigs customizable carrying capacity? The Adventurers packs were a beginning, but I (...)

...but it goes well with your well done Hind. I like how you incorporated the passenger carrying capacity of the Hind (a feature that I believe is rarely used in real life) to make an all purpose SOF Battlewagon. Also, your use of the 2x2 round tile (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks, Jon. It was getting the detail perfect that was the real killer in this model! But it's nice to know that one of my models partly inspired you - usually it is more like the other way around! :D Zac (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.loc.au)

Zac, If there is one thing I love in MOC's, it's compactness and this is definately a superb example. The full funciton of the track, turret and still enough room for a driver...a tough build indeed. Looks great! Cheers, -G (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.loc.au)

I like it. Its cute and deadly. As I said before I like the upside down tipper bucket. I know its a borrowed idea but it works well on this.
