Tony, thanks a lot for those links...I thought my question was rather
rudimentary but I'll cross post nextime. ;-) Those are some awesome
designs. In regards to the clip attachment, however, I don't think that's
what he did in the kudryavka. From
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=335158, it doesn't look like
1x1 headlight (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4070) could be used because
there's only 2 plates between the hinges. I guess if it had been rotated 90
degrees in 'prototype2' it might fit (guess I should test that out).

Actually I answered my own question ;-P ...there's 16 pairs in the
Excavation Searcher.

Probably best bet there.

Good point...need to keep that in mind. ;^)

Actually, in the PCS Guidelines (http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=21117-had
it bookmarked cause it's "far back" now) Chris said that he would be using
*curvy* smoke, but since the POD has straight glass, I'm *assuming* that a
small suit could use straight smoke (I should check with the Commodore though).

EXCELLENT!

Yes, thanks for those responses. I definitely will stop by build.mecha more
often (I'm new to posting) and hopefully learn some expert tips on ideas
(soon)! That stuff is spectacular!
ciao for now
