:^\ hmmmmmm.....(squeaky wooden wheels covered in cobwebs start to creak and
turn in Trev's head)...but how would one manage the sloped roof and underbelly?
That's A LOT of long technic bricks to tie it all together! Even scaled
down, it's big. Two big grey plates wide for sure. Or at least each side
one a slight 15-20 degree angle. I'm more concerned with creating the
sloped undercarriage - perhaps two layers of baseplate with one layer turned
upside-down to create a suitable profile.
I'm going to have to brainstorm that one. Perhaps whe my wife and I move
into the new house and I get my..oooOOoooOohohohohh (drool)...dedicated
dream lego room, I'll have the space to tackle that one.
