This newsgroup (lugnet.build.military) is great for posting military aircraft, such as (URL) Ralph Savelsberg's F-117A and Su-27>. But there's really no suitable place for civilian aircraft. I know that LUGNET has been in a pretty static state for a (...) (17 years ago, 31-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

(...) Thank you. In recent years LEGO have made things a lot easier by introducing all kinds of convenient wedge shapes and suitable colours. The Flanker wouldn't look as good in old-fashioned blue and grey. Cheers, Ralph (17 years ago, 30-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Wow. Those are just stunning. You've really raised the bar for aircraft MOCs. (17 years ago, 29-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Hi Magnus, Indeed, camouflage is harder to do on a small model with complex shapes. Large flat areas are relatively easy. In that case limiting the number of colours is a good idea. That simplifies matters somewhat. I agree that certain parts (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) I spent a lot of time on getting the shape right, and reading this I guess I succeeded fairly nicely. I do think that the studs were a bit of a give-away as to what is the LEGO version. (...) Thanks. I appreciate it, Ralph (17 years ago, 26-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks. (...) You've got a keen eye. Yes, they rotate through a full 180 degrees. It's not quite the way it works on the real aircraft, but indeed there simply wasn't any room otherwise. (...) Thanks. For some odd reason it doesn't always turn (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

Marc, (...) :) Thanks! (...) It's held in by a half pin, which means that it stays on well enough unless someone knocks against the tail. (...) It would be cool to build something like that, it would allow me to build an armored vehicle a littl (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Ralph, (...) Thanks for your kind words! You do camo very nicely. I think the problem with this chopper is that there are too many colors being used and there isn't as much space to spread them out over, as there is on say the top of a fighter (...)

Ralph, Wow, love 'em both!:) (...) Very nice, your bomb bay and landing gear all look so neat! Do the rear whels rotate as they go in (otherwise how do they fit?) Great use of a variety of slopes and snot to get that unique look just right! (...) (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) These are both fantastic models! I especially like the Stealth - I remember modeling those with the old Testor's model as a teen years ago. Your Lego version is beautiful - when the BrickShelf folder came up I had a hard time figuring out from (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)
