thanks very much. the plasma coils are some strange part off an alpha
team set...
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30622 those. I was looking at them and
thought "wait... the P-38 had those bulges on the booms... these could
be my equivalent. then I did my little "I am a genius" dance and set up
as many minifigs I could find to bask in my awesome presence... well,
ok, not that last bit.
as for the guns, I tried to make them nose-mounted, originally, but I
thought they made the nose too long, so they got moved back and to the
sides.
thanks again
-Anthony
