I built a MOC Klingon Bird of Prey a few years ago out of M-Tron parts. I
suppose it's a M-Tron Bird of Prey now. :^)
I didn't use any of the magnets, though... but I put technic pieces in it so
when you rotate one of the engines the wings move from landing to flight
configuration. I'd actually like to do a bit of redesign on it and try to
work in
the forward photorp launcher... I left that out. :^P
I'll have wifey bring home the digital camera and I'll post pics soon.
