(...) It's not so much the covering of the port that I'm worried about as the actually fitting of 15 into either side. It'll take some very crafty work to get a deck to match ports built into a SNOTed hull to the cannon on the deck within, not to (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Wow. While I've noticed the lack of free standing stude on your models before, I never realized that it was a de facto building policy of yours. In light of this I'm even more impressed with your models. Building without the top studs showing (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Gunports should be okay using the standard LEGO 2x2 flag as gunport lids, mounted to 2x1 plates with handle (2540). (...) Keep the gunports closed! (...)

(...) Thanks! (...) The helicopter is about as small as I could get it, while preserving the general shape, side-by-side seating, and clearance underneath for the torpedo. The hangar could be narrowed (by four studs if necessary - I left clearance (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks Bryce Minifig accessories are a great resource for detailing military models, as many of them are made in grey or black. Finding a way to use a normally 'useless' part as the space binocular is always gratifying. I have a goal to avoid (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Nice bird. I do like the shape, pretty good use of those new slopy bits. My main beef is he size of the cannons. (eek! I'm complaining about the size of a gun. Dang it, snowballs are melting in hades...) They are a tad too big I feel. Plus, (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) I really hate to butt in here, but you took the idea right out of my head!
