Happy Easter everybody. Well I fianlly got around to taking pictures of my new model. With this one I kinda went back to a more traditional/mordern fighter jet look and tried something new with the engine intakes (not really intakes if it's in (...)

I like Gil's idea of an umbilicus ship and can see such a ship in action. I am still working on the original challenge of making something flexible. I agree with Dan that the door in the Final Duel I set looks pretty cool andd two can be connected, (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

Thanx Mike! I love these TIE-stands. When I got the first one, I could already see a fighter using them horizontally, but one was never steady enough. Thanx for the compliment and sorry that it took me some time to react. I have been suffering (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

Hi. My airlocks that I created don't have doors yet. I'm trying to build them. My ideas are original LEGO models but slightly edited. Ok, take, ummm, the small set with Luke Skywalker, a Stormtrooper, and that gray guy. Buy two of them. Now, get the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)
