Well, after seeing the posts in .mecha recently from others that have • made

This is what I came up with. :)

Sadly, though I tried, I wasn't able to determine a way make the armor

are far more skilled than I give it a go!

Comments, questions or suggestions are welcomed,

the pic's individually but it just won't accept them.  Any suggestions on
what else to try would be welcome. :)

Hi,

Cool use of very disparate parts there. I really like the Blowsperior
(Lancer/Yellow's Bike). I also liked how you used the binoculors pieces to
simulate the twin rocket launchers on Scott's Armor.

As for building a fully transformable minifig-sized bike... well... I wish
anyone who tries it all the best =)

I do have a question, from what set does the "transparent starwars laser
cannon" (for lack of a better word) come from? I've been trying to search
for it with no luck at all...

I Hope you don't mind me answering instead of Joel,
They come in the Naboo Swamp http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7121

Gary
Just trying to help.
