I've made a very small rig to the scale of the minifigs.  It has
articulated central steering, which is operated by turning the yellow
light on the top.  There are very cursory instructions provided, which
means that you need to work a bit if you want to build it.

The images were produced with LDLITE and POV-Ray.  I tried to avoid
using unofficial LDraw parts, but there is one: The friction pin with
towball.  I'll post the model to the appropriate dat group when it gets
official.

Wow. I actually went and looked at this. This may be the absolute high point of presentation at the amateur level, EVER. People NEED to check this out, even if they are not town modelers, to see what is possible/creatable/publishable with our (...) (25 years ago, 19-May-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad, lugnet.publish)

This is a really cool model. I built one myself tonight. It was fun! Thanks for the great instructions Fredrik, and of course the great design as well. John Matthews Fredrik Glöckner <fredrik.glockner@bio.uio.no> wrote in message (...) (25 years ago, 19-May-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad)

I need to chime in again. This little vehicle is fun to play with too! I haven't had so much fun playing with a LEGO vehicle since I built my 8459 (highly recommended if you like Technic). Thanks again Fredrik, I sincerely wish I had the mechanical (...) (25 years ago, 22-May-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad)
