    Re: My MOCs in ABS —Bryce Rollins
   (...) Thanks Bruce but I really can't take all of the credit. Mattias did have to do some structural reinforcement of my designs and the ejection seat design that you enjoyed is purely his design - I use a similar but standardized seat for all my (...)

        Re: My MOCs in ABS —Mattias Martensson
   (...) Thanks Bryce for your kind words and of course for the dat-file of the A-4. Making a ABS version the three-colour IAF variant is not as easy as I first thought. For the moment there are no triangular plates of any kind available in tan, and no (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)
   
        Of ABS and Lego Hinds —Bryce Rollins
   (...) This is one of the biggest hurdles that I will run into if I ever try to convert my MLCAD designs. The beauty of using MLCAD is that any number of parts are available to me in any number of colors, while in real life, some parts just don't (...)

        Re: Of ABS and Lego Hinds —Geordan Hankinson
   You beat me to it! ;-) Looks great Bryce! The JSF cockpit piece is perfectly suited to the Hind IMHO, I really like the front half of the model, although the tail seems too chunky to me, I like the missile tubes under the wings, very clever idea (...)

        Re: Of ABS and Lego Hinds —Bryce Rollins
   (...) Thanks Geordan. My plans for a LEGO Hind started the second that I saw that canopy piece and were cemented when I saw the Republic Gunship kit. The chunkyness in the tail is directly related to the front section design. To get the cockpit (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)
   
        Re: Of ABS and Lego Hinds —Chris Klint
   (...) I still have issues with those canopies myself: they're basically useless on a horizontal mounting, unless they're mounted with the taper forward as on the JSF. And as you've seen, articulating the cockpits at an angle sucks up hull space; in (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)
   
        Re: Of ABS and Lego Hinds —Bryce Rollins
    Chris, you did that nice looking Spetnaz SOF Hind that was posted a while back on brickshelf right? That MOC, along with the afore-mentioned canopy parts, were my primary inspiration to try and tackle the Hind. The 5 bladed rotor mounted no your (...)

        Re: Of ABS and Lego Hinds —Chris Klint
   (...) It's really much more fragile than it looks, though: forming those plate hinges into inward-pointing Vs around the blades makes the shape flexible when attached but incredibly sensitive to knocks against any of the blades. Even an accidental (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)
