I've found that using the 1x2 or 2x2 bricks with the built-in pins works even
better because you don't have to worry about the pin itself coming loose. The
other side would of course be a 1x2 technic beam.

Actually, those are something else half-axle pins or soemthing - I know what
you
mean, though, because I was confused for a long time. (Back in my day, we didn't
*have* no fancy 'friction pins'...) There are actually two kinds of tehcnic
pins
- the regular ones which hold loosely and allow the joint to spin and then
another
kind (I've only seen them in black) which 'grip' the beams they are put into and
do not spin freely. (Hence friction pins, because friction keeps them from
moving, unlike regular pins.) These are the pins that hold the A-Wing's guns
in
place if you've picked up that set...

| Lindsay sent me the A-Wing this week and my worry on building it was, how are the guns going to stay up if they're held in by those wimpy black Technic pegs? Now I know. I have to plead your "we didn't HAVE no stinkin' friction pins". These are (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

| Eric and Jeff, thanks for the tips on pins. I have some of the 1x2's with the built in pins, so I will give those a try. I will need to wait untill the AucZILLA XI shipments arrive before I can try out the pins and beams. Thanks again! Bruce Duncan (25 years ago, 12-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
