(...) Not much impresses me with this. Not good, not bad, just ok. (...) Yummy. I love interior pics. I like the shape of this ship. Nice to see some more details. I especially like the way you used the 2 x 2 tile w/ pin to hold the roof on. I (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.space)

One way to increase the friction on a single plate motion (like a swing-wing aircraft for example) is to use 2 of them...one on top and one on bottom with the plate sandwiched between. Surround the turntable on the bottom surface with tiles and the (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.space)

It's funny you mention that because this is actually a narrower version of a much larger box that I just couldn't get to look right. In this case I wanted the ship to look like an oversized traditional brick :-) Thanks for the reply! (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Grand Admiral, Hmm...I was referring to the sliding door format itself. After looking at hundreds of pictures of hundreds of models over the past two years it's hard to recall exactly where I got that idea from...but I wanted to give credit where (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Mike, Cool craft you have here. Definitely CS in the color scheme and the simplicity of structure and hidden technical stuff (greeblies). I remember seeing the GI JOE Wolverine and yours is a great point of departure. Any more where this came (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.space)

My latest MOC. Its inspired by the GI JOE vehicle of the same name. Except the driver in this case is not as good looking. The Wolverine is designed as mainly an anti-armour vehicle. The missles are guided which makes up for the lack of movement in (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.space) !

You can put a piece of paper between the two parts of the 2 x 2 turntable. A rubber band between the two pieces of the 4 x 4 turntable will tighten the turntable nicely. (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.space)

I haven't tried this with Lego, so don't sue me if it doesn't work. But, you can add friction to moving parts of other materials by adding a tiny drop of cyanoacrylate (super) glue to the joint, and then working the parts until the glue dries. This (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.space)

is there a way to give a turn-table a little more friction - or even a friction turntable? I like using them, but they swing every which way every time you pick them up - i don't like it. thanks in advance -vive le krakhed (22 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.space)
