Greetings all, After venturing into LFB's style of SNOT building with my wet navy Pre-Dreadnought, I decided to try out the hull building techniques on a Space Battle Carrier. The result is HMS Venerable: (URL) I'm pretty pleased with the ship. It (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)

I got a wild hair to build a new halftrack to replace the innacurate one I am currently selling as a kit.

Lindsay, The rotor blades were simple enough to build, actually: as I mentioned before, they're based on ten black plate-hinges from my old 8839 Technic Supply Ship. Essentially I folded five hinges into a near-closed shape like a V, arranged them (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.military)
