(...) Hey Chris. Sorry I took my time replying to this post. I know that this is a hover tank,and that in it's self encompasses many aspects but, my god, I love those guns. I will be completely honest with you, I struggle to take notice of the rest (...) (20 years ago, 6-Sep-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks! I came up with the idea actually several years ago, but they got scrapped. Then, when thinking about what to build next, I realized the I needed the guns once again. (...) Steal away! That's what the site's for, trading ideas! I just (...) (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hi Chris I would have replied to this post earlier as well, but have forgotten about it a few times. I hope I'm not too late for you to read this!

(...) Hi Chris, you've built a nice tank there. Have you built an interior? Also, I was wondering what it would like with some light gray tiles on the armor between the dark grey ones, to even the surface out a bit and make the stripes less lumpy (...)

(...) Never. (...) I tried really hard to figure out a way to make them adjustable. I was hoping no one would notice really...but nothing gets past you guys, which is good. The guns are really heavy, and I tried everything from pins to axles to (...) (20 years ago, 11-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) There's kind of an interior, it's really not much to look at though. The armored turret left enough room for the minifig and a computer or two. I like the tile idea there, I think I'll try it out. Thanks! (20 years ago, 11-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) It seems to be pretty easy for replies to "old" post to get lost around here... Have you tried to balance the guns better by moving the point of balance forward? (And maybe raising it a bit to make room for tilting) As far as I ought to be (...) (20 years ago, 12-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) There's only one place to connect things to the guns because of their construction unfortunately, though the click hinges may work. (...) I don't have any technic balljoints, though I really wish I did. (20 years ago, 12-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I was thinking something about shifting the black wheel-like cylinders just behind the barerls into some of the round (technic) parts with studholes on the side, like 41531 (used in some subaqua) or the similar parts with an axlehole on the (...)

(...) Ahhh...I see, I have a pair of those, but only in red. I don't think red would go over so well on an Iron Reich MOC. (20 years ago, 14-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Probably not... I think the order for 200 would be cancelled if you did, but what about the other kind (the ones from the big x-wing)? You might be able to get hold of those on bricklink... -NB (20 years ago, 14-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
