Here are some pictures I took of Shaun Sullivan's creations on display at BrickFest: (URL) The full collection of Shaun photos was 85MB at full size, so I batch- resized them resized down to 800x600 resolution for web viewing. Let me know if you (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.military)

(...) I have a suggestion for a nice helicopter for you to try and build, Daniel. Have you ever watched the second or third Rambo movies? I always wanted to build one of those Sikorsky helicopters, you know, the ones that look like the helicopter (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) It's really much more fragile than it looks, though: forming those plate hinges into inward-pointing Vs around the blades makes the shape flexible when attached but incredibly sensitive to knocks against any of the blades. Even an accidental (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Jesse, were you trying to send this to me directly? I just came accrss this post here, so I may as well respond. Thanks for the kind words on the Blacksmith Shop - I personally prefer my tavern over's Lego's diminutive Guarded Inn, but then (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

Chris, you did that nice looking Spetnaz SOF Hind that was posted a while back on brickshelf right? That MOC, along with the afore-mentioned canopy parts, were my primary inspiration to try and tackle the Hind. The 5 bladed rotor mounted no your (...)

I just completed my D-44 Landing Barge model, you can see it here: (URL) wanted to build a really large craft capable of transporting two APCs. I used Technic half pins and plates to form the sides. It's a really strong structure, and also easy on (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.announce.moc) !

(...) I still have issues with those canopies myself: they're basically useless on a horizontal mounting, unless they're mounted with the taper forward as on the JSF. And as you've seen, articulating the cockpits at an angle sucks up hull space; in (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

This is Jesse again and I saw one of your latest creations in the newest LEGO catalog and I knew that your blacksmith shop was going to make it. I did not know how well that it complemented the Guarded Inn but does it ever fit in like a glove! Your (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks Geordan. My plans for a LEGO Hind started the second that I saw that canopy piece and were cemented when I saw the Republic Gunship kit. The chunkyness in the tail is directly related to the front section design. To get the cockpit (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

You beat me to it! ;-) Looks great Bryce! The JSF cockpit piece is perfectly suited to the Hind IMHO, I really like the front half of the model, although the tail seems too chunky to me, I like the missile tubes under the wings, very clever idea (...)
