|

According to the following link (URL) French flag seems red-white-blue from the pole and out, and not blue-white-red as it should be. Is this just an error in the booklet? Does anyone have this part so that it can be confirmed? Thanks /Tore (22 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Yes, we definitely need a new hand. In addition to the hand to stem angle, we also need to fix the origin to make sense, like being along the axis of wrist rotation. -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I wonder if it would be worth it to re-make the minifig hands too. The hand should tilt away from the hand "stem" at an angle of about 15 degrees. Right now, to get the correct angle of the hand to the arm, the hand has to be tilted so the solids (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
