Do you think there would be any interest in my (URL) MH-53> as Blackout from the Transformers movie for the book, or is it too sci-fi? Adrian (17 years ago, 1-Oct-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Daniel, Sounds very interesting. Are you mainly just interested in replicas of actual weapons and vehicles, or are you also interested in free built MOCs that simply look realistic and may be inspired by various real life vehicles? thanks Magnus (17 years ago, 1-Oct-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Beautiful! An excellent chopper and an excellent robot. Looks better than the toy since you can add more articulation. Superb work! Dave S. (17 years ago, 1-Sep-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.space, FTX)

Simply amazing! I'm not a huge fan of the movie, but you've captured Blackout very well! I've always wondered about building Transformers, but haven't really tried it since I was very young.

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.

(...) 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)
