Thanks Bryce
Minifig accessories are a great resource for detailing military models, as
many of them are made in grey or black. Finding a way to use a normally
'useless' part as the space binocular is always gratifying.
I have a goal to avoid 'free' studs on my models. All top studs should
preferably be covered by tiles, modified tiles, slopes, etc. It is a pity
that 1x1 tiles are so expensive.
My next MOC will probably be non-military. I have for some time been
collecting parts, reference material and construction ideas for making a 8
or 9 stud wide model of the famous steam engine Big Boy. But you never know
for sure what turns up in advance. A towing half-track for the 8,8 gun and a
improved version of the Fletcher Class Destroyer are also in the
construction pipe.

PS I like your new model of the Rafale fighter a lot. But I didn't
understand the 'cheat' with the double sloped parts for the intakes - will
you please explain it.
Keep on the production

I particularly like how you used the minifig accessories and the Dk. grey flag parts unconventionally to add extra touches of detail. What (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.military)
