Hey Richie, Very cool! I had tried something like this when I got my Republic gunship because I wanted more than half a bubble. One of the replies asked if the bubble could open. I knew it couldn't in the present configuration because of the way the (...) (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.space)

Hey Samarth! This is one nice model! I especially like the multitude of details, also the mechanized tools. I was thinking, maybe you can "un-bastardize" it and convert it to a good old train. ;o) (...) You bet ;o) But for a space MOC it actually (...)

I would say getting the darn things finished. I often get 90% done with something then decide I do not like and tear it apart. I would say I finish maybe 1 out of every 8 models I start Brent (URL) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.space)

Hey Daniel, Thanks for the reply. I actually have that set. The piece (or pieces) I'm referring to are referred to as coming from set #7236. Some type of new 2x4 bracket. I checked the Peeron inventory for the set but didn't see any piece listed (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.space)
