(...) Hi George, I'm glad you liked it. In my opinion a good MOC also needs a good backstory and descriptions to say exactly what the createor intended certain features to be - not all parts of a space model are always self descriptive :) I was (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hi there, Chris, I'm quite flattered that you like it. The tools took a few goes to get right, however the thrusters took their current shape almost immediately. I suppose that's the beauty of a detailed sketch before construction :) Whilst (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks Jeff, The mechanisms that you refer to are actualy just buffers on hydraulic stems to absorb shock when the vehicle is pushing large vessels. Perhaps some pilots could retrofit them with magnetic systems for latching... Thanks, Zac (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

Actually, posability is limited to x- and y-axix movement. However, the thing can pose in the following positions: crouching, jumping, walking/running, Jump-Jetting, squishing cars. I especially like that last one! i was going to make the legs a (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

His head is only attached to his torso by a dark gray 1x1 round plate, and his torso is attached to his legs by another round plate. If I flick (...)

ACPin's utterance expressed in news:HCu066.19wF@lugnet.com: (...) wow! great design! wouldn't want that one pointed at me :) It has a certain "computer-game"-look to it - like something from quake or halflife :) Leg godt og sjovt! (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

Zac, This is an exceptional MOC. You did a great job with the detailing of tools and thrusters while at the same time keeping it clean. (the thruster packs on the sides are really neato). Best thing is the clean color lines. Makes me think of old (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
