|
| Hello, lego fans. After writing the next chapter in my science fiction story, I decided to build a model of my main character's signature ship, the Falconesse. The Falconesse is based on an earlier attempt of mine for an air to air combat fighter, (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc)

| More stuff on brickshelf today. I think I'm over my WW2 binge for now. (URL) items include: *My treadless version of a Sherman M4A1 (looks more like a T-34 turret, but oh well). * An 88 gun * A German transport/towing truck, based on a Mercedez Benz (...)

| | | | | Churchill VII tank
|
| Hi all, Noticing a plethora of great WWII tanks and vehicles by fans, I also noticed a big gap in the arsenal: allied tanks. To wit, my version of a British close support tank, the Churchill Mk VII. (URL) tank, historically, features 152 mm of (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)

| Bryce: VERY impressive! I'm active duty Navy with experience working on F-14's and I can tell you that your models are dead-on. I really like the Tomcat's engines and the armament on both aircraft. I'd love to get my hands on the instructions for (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)

I don't have 2 VCR's to 'dub' tapes, but would be willing to look into doing something if there's a (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)

| (...) Bryce, Very much so! I really enjoyed the movie, and while I'm sure (as always) there were a lot of "Hollywood-ized" bits... the movie left me in amazement. If Canada had not listened to the U.S. strong arm political tactics, etc... and if (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)

| Hey Richie, that is a really impressive warship you have there. It's easily one of the finest Lego surface combatants that I've seen (right up there with Richard Parson's Escort Carrier and Mattias Martensson's Fletcher) and it's even more (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | Re: HMLS Snottler III
|
| (...) Thanks! You can't beat SNOT building for flowing hull profiles, although it doesn't seem as good for wide ships as it does for narrow. By stepping the plate offsets (ie 1 stud, then 2, then 3, then 4 or 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4 etc) you can simulate a (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)

| (...) It's certainly large, but it's 'in proportion' rather than 'to scale'. The hangar is a bit oversized compared to our ANZAC frigates, but not overly so. (And the real ones have hangars for side by side helicopters in any case!) I was pleased (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)
| | | | | Re: HMLS Snottler III
|
| Well it's official, SNOT building can do just about anything! Snottler III is great -- the bow flare is especially well handled, I think. She really has the feel of a modern warship, and she's of a good relative size for one too. Brilliant work (as (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)
| | | | | Re: HMLS Snottler III
|
| Aye, aye...she is a real beauty!! What an amazing piece of work...the detailing, the incredible thin but flowing hull profile and the helicopter w/hanger....that's just too cool for this Canuck. Incredible job...would have been a treat to see first (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)
