Fradel, Thanks for the kind words. My Whale doesn't have a depth charge rack, basically because I couldn't fit one in without it looking out of place. The vertical fans (not sure what they’re really called) take up a lot of space, and I don't think (...) (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.build.military)

Smashing as always. Have you thought of making a depth charge rack? If I recall correctly the GI JOE version might have had one. I'm sure if you make it modular enough, the Swordfish can become a monitor variant with a Bofors gun. F (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.build.military)

Hi all, I haven't posted any MOCs recently, but I have been building a number of new things, which I hope to post over the next week or two. To start off here are two riverine/coastal type patrol vessels. These are my first boats in the military (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.boats) !!

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)
