    A tanker —Trevor Pruden
   A couple pics of this sub capital was taken for my by fellow group member Ken Koleda (thanks, Ken!) at the Michlug mini-meet yesterday.

      (...) slammed this one out in about 3 hours. But that was the look I was going for. I wonder how many people have seen the B movie "Space truckers"? ~Trev (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.space)

     (...) Two more what? Two more ships? :D Or can the modules be run in tandem, like the tandem load lorries that are still legal in Ohio and Michigan? The collar: What's the theory there? Just Technic pegs? Or is it good for bearing the connector's (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: A tanker —Trevor Pruden
     (...) Thanks, Lindsay! Well, at the moment there are 2 points of articulation with the engines plus each vane has one pont of articulation.
