As in "Tomy Zoids" a.k.a. Robostrux in the U.S.? I have a bunch of these in
storage and they came in all kinds of colors and had all kinds of different
heads and attachment methods. See: http://www.tiac.net/users/zoids/
Those toys rivalled lego for excellence of design, actually they were
probably better even if they were not as modular.

I am not really sure which one you might be referencing with this cockpit.
Can you cite the model you based your design on?

Looking at the dat file, I note that there may be a missing 1x2 brick and
1x2 plate on the underside -- or are those omissions intentional?

I'd certainly like to see you develop this into something more complete -- a
Gojulas maybe?

(...) They were called Tomy Zoids here in the US too. I have the windup elephant one, and the box too somewhere (everything is packed up since I just moved). I got it at Mervyn's a long long time ago. (23 years ago, 15-Dec-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) This cockpit was used on lots of different zoids. (...) I'm currently working on the body. I've already updated the cockpit, it's now on it's 3rd version, it was 1 unit too long so has now been shorten'd. Steve (23 years ago, 16-Dec-01, to lugnet.general)

Revisit your childhood with this Zoid cockpit (URL) think it's come out quite well. I've uploaded the dat as well so your welcome to make improvements. What it really needs is a C3PO to act as the android pilot, he's exactly the right colour. Steve (23 years ago, 15-Dec-01, to lugnet.general)
