  Re: USAAF P-47 Thunderbolt
 
(...) Tim, Amazing work! I really like how you were able to build in all sorts of insignia into the fuselage - the detailing is very impressive! Thank for sharing! Magnus (18 years ago, 1-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

  Re: RAH-105 "THUNDER-CHIEF" STEALTH HELICOPTER
 
(...) Thank you for your kind input, Magnus. Yes, the 9 volt battery box is mounted in the tail section and it is mounted inverted so that I can have easy access to the button. The lego motor is mounted side-ways behind the co-pilot seat and it is (...) (18 years ago, 30-Aug-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: RAH-105 "THUNDER-CHIEF" STEALTH HELICOPTER
 
(...) this myself some time... This is very cool! I may be missing some of the detail because black doesn't photograph so well, but from what I can see, youve put a lot of work into this. Normally I'd say it looks a little chunky, but knowing you've (...) (18 years ago, 30-Aug-06, to lugnet.build.military)

  Re: Motorized WWII Style Tank
 
(...) It does not shoot, although that would be cool to see. I will not be at Brickfest this year. I was hoping too, but.... Regardless, the model has been partially cannibalized for parts. -Duane (18 years ago, 21-Aug-06, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Motorized WWII Style Tank
 
(...) It looks really good Duane! I think it is "enjoyable in moderation." It looks exactly like a WWII tank from a distance. I assume it does not shoot? That might be a good thing seeing as kids will be at BrickFest. Will kids be allowed to play (...) (18 years ago, 21-Aug-06, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Rumbling on its way to BrickFest!
 
Greetings all, Here is my latest MOC, a fully motorized LEGO tank. I'd like to thank Duane Hess and his WWII era tank for particular inspiration and influence. (URL) for another inspiration check out Soren Robert's tank. (URL) to you folks over at (...)

  Re: Fantastic USS Kidd seen on Brickshelf
 
(...) Hi Mattias, It indeed is an awesome model. I've had an interest in U.S. Navy ships for a long time, but never got around to building a model like this, and doubt that I could. His Ticonderoga class cruiser is similarly impressive. I've (...) (18 years ago, 12-Aug-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Fantastic USS Kidd seen on Brickshelf
 
Hi If you haven´t seen marcosbears new USS Kidd and USS Ticonderoga on Brickshelf yet go and have a look (URL) hope if marcosbears reads this message will introduce himself and tell us a little about his great creations. There are so many creative (...) (18 years ago, 7-Aug-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: F-16N Viper MOC
 
(...) Hi Ralph Thanks for these new pictures explaining the tricky landing gear assembly. Your F-16 is really great! I like the colour scheme of course, the nose section, engine intake and the over all proportions. To improve the model even further (...) (18 years ago, 31-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: Mini-fig scale F-16 Fighting Falcon
 
(...) Hi Ryan I would recommend buying the book Virtual Lego in order to get going with MLCAD. After a while you will like virtual building as much as building with real lego. It is also an excellent way to share and document your building (...) (18 years ago, 31-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

Yesterday I added new pictures of the landing gear: (URL) this makes the gear's operation a bit more clear. Cheers, Ralph (18 years ago, 31-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: F-16N Viper MOC
 
(...) Hi Justin, Thanks for the comments. Many people have mentioned the aircraft's nose. The nose on any jet is a very hard bit to get right (just look at LEGO's new Boeing 787 and you'll see what I mean). I have quite a few of those curved wedges, (...)

  Re: F-16N Viper MOC
 
Impressive build. I especially like your solution to the nose, which seems to be a sticking point for so many. You also pulled off a camoflage look very well (something I doubt I'll ever be brave enough to try, piece limit or no), and as mentioned (...) (18 years ago, 27-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: Mini-fig scale F-16 Fighting Falcon
 
(...) Thanks Brian, Bulk brick sales at outlet stores indeed would indeed be a likely explanation. One of the reasons why I haven't used bricklink is that I am pretty sure that if I do, I'll become hooked. I have browsed around and seen loads of (...)

  Re: Mini-fig scale F-16 Fighting Falcon
 
(...) Ralph, I think some of the sellers that have parts in colors that have never been used in sets before probably live near LEGO stores, factories, etc. Especially many European sellers. That's the only way I can think of where they can get their (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

I am happy that you replied to my question, since I was a bit afraid that I angered you with my comments on your F-16. If I did, I apologise. I certainly (...)

  Re: Mini-fig scale F-16 Fighting Falcon
 
(...) I buy all of my Lego parts on www.bricklink.com. I haven't bought an actual Lego set in years. I just order the parts in the quantities and colors that I need, so I don't accumulate a large inventory of un-used or un-needed parts. Ryan (18 years ago, 26-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)
