Not very, but well worth reading!

Welcome!

There are a lot of military mocs being built out there and I am
curious to hear what kind of projects people are working on.

I still have my main project on the drawing board, but I'm eager to start. Don't
have the time right now "due" to other fun LEGO-related projects.

I'm planning to build a 1:20 (technic-fig scale) replica of the Swedish fighter
jet SAAB JAS 39 Gripen. I'm aiming for lot's of functions and design. We'll see
about that when I get around to building. Need to aquire the 10030 ISD before I
can finnish it off, need those plates and beams, don't need my salary or food!

The Gripen is aprox. 15 meter IRL so the 1:20 scale will make a LEGO plane
that's  ~75 cm! Should be able to pack in some functions in that body.

It will take many months and I hope this rant will help me keep the interest up,
I usually bail out after a week on my MOCs... Time will tell.

Here's the official Gripen page: http://www.gripen.com/

Hej Tobbe The Gripen sounds like a challenge! And of course the ISD is a major investment. I once borrowed a series of detailed technical drawings of Swedish military planes from the library, can't remember the author but they had a yellow cover. (...)
