Thanks for your kind words.
Interiors on any minifig-scale vehicle are tricky. because as soon as you want
to fit minifigs inside, you start wrestling with all sorts of scaling issues.
Ultimately I go for a compromise between aesthetics, funtionality, and scale.
I'm not sure what the piece is called, it is some sort of Technic piece. I know
that a few of them come in the big oversized Dino Attack chopper. That cannon
design was pioneered by Dan Rubin, and I had been wanting to use it for a while
now.
I expect to build a few more armored vehicles, and also ultimately break into
aircraft and smaller ships of some kind.
cheers
Magnus
