  Messerschmitt Me 323
 
Hello Everybody! I just wanted to present my newest airplane MOC: the Messerschmitt Me 323 Transporter. I presented this model at the fan event in Frechen together with a little diorama: (URL) information about the actual building of the model: It (...)

(...) Magnus, Thanks for the comments. You can squish 15 troops inside plus the driver and gunner in the seat shown. If you're really into the harsh reality of militaristic economics, you can get about 22, maybe 23 tops in there ;-) Cheers! ~ Paul. (18 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Thanks Marco! The steering front and back are not connected. Would be a great idea though and totally possible. There's enough room under the vehicle with a slightly modified floor. And plus my son likes driving the vehicle sideways with both (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Tim, I used the technic wheels from set 8842 from 1986. My dad bought me that set way back then and it was a favourite because it had steering that worked and a simplistic engine with moving piston when you pushed it along the floor. (...)

(...) Wolf, Yes I toyed with the idea of making it a few studs wider originally, but the scale of the vehicle looked out of place with the wheel diameter... and those are the only wheels in my collection (from 1980's technic set ;-) that would work.

  Re: Aliens Style APC
 
Paul, Ah, I was admiring this the other day - very nice work! How many troops does it fit on the inside? I know how hard it can be to balance functionality and scale, and I think you've done a great job. I like the slightly sloped roof and you've (...)

  Re: Aliens Style APC
 
Hello Paul, this is a true spotlight! I just had to login and answer. I like the details of the interior. And I love the playability. Great work. I wonder how you did that sliding door. It looks fantastic in the animation. And what about the wheels, (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) The movie showed the turret mounted an a pair of rails that curved over the back end of the vehicle. The guns pointed sideways and the whole turret then traveled backwards and then down the back until it was tucked in behind so they could (...)

  Re: Aliens Style APC
 
(...) Hi Paul, You keep sneaking these things past me by not cross-posting to a theme group. I really love this. I'm a real sucker for Alien and its sequels so anything from them arouses my interest and this is a most excellent build. I find the (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
 
  Re: Aliens Style APC
 
(...) Wow!!! Very nice! Really like the look and construction, good solution on the wheels. Just my initial reactions, now I have to look more and explore further details.. :) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
