Hi Everyone, Back on December 23rd, when I went to Wayne Hussey's house to help work on his rocketship, Wayne asked me to design a Workbee based on pics from a Star Trek book Wayne owns. He had been trying his own design, but he wasn't satisfied with it. My design is based on the pictures in the book, but allowing for attachments using Technic pegs or 1x2 bricks. I stopped by Wayne's house last night after a SEALUG meeting, and Bill Farkas dropped in and helped with some cosmetic revisions (the airplane nose bits on the sides), as well as building a fuel rack for the Workbee to tow. You can actually see Workbees in the background if you're watching some of the spacedock scenes from the Star Trek movies. Workbees have an integral Impulse engine and a crew of one. Anyway, here's some pictures: Workbee with no attachments. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=30400 Workbee towing a fuel rack http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=30402 Workbee schematic: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=30404 AssaultBee combat attachment (Warp nacelles with phasers) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=30398 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=30394 AssaultBee schematic: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=30399 More pics are available in the main directory: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=3113 Enjoy ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin -- Mark's Lego(R) Creations http://www.nwlink.com/~sandlin/lego

(...) I saw those in the movies when I was younger and wondered what they were. I would really like to get some instructions if you have them because they would be excellent for my destroyer. Just the right size, and they fit in my service bays. (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
