Thanks Paul!

My goal was to make the most of the fewest parts, and I think I accomplished
my goal.

It was even kid-tested yesterday at Wayne's house (see my other post in
.general) and it held up perfectly.

Kid testing cannot be underemphasized. This model has a very high vroomability
factor too.

This is an example of a really good minimal model. Which brings me to another point.

My kids LEGO collection is in a GBT (Great Big Tub) and I'd like to fill
a Plano tackle box with a set of general pieces for building vehicles and
spaceships so he can take it on trips.

If you had the opportunity to bake a "universal" set out of more than blocks,
what would you put in it? It has to fit in a 3720 Plano box...

Cheers,

Hmm... well I'll make a short list just out o' my head, and then other ppl can add to it if I miss something. Mark's List: Obviously you won't be able to have one part in every color, so maybe ask what your son's preference is in this department. (...)
