I do have some small, nifty models, particularly of a fighter, which is not
complete due to a lack of proper LEGO pieces, though complete enough to show
an indication of serious thought in my mind. This model is known as the
Solar Switchblade, a light (which does not mean weaponless) fighter in the
Gaea Federation fleet. I constructed a rather nifty use of a Life on Mars
window from a T-3 Trike, combined that with a Mono Jet, and combined some
parts from a semi-recent Technic set, and built the Solar Switchblade. I
made some blueprints to some of my work but it is really horrible,
especially since I can not draw very well and the fact that I use graph
paper rather than a computer. (PaintBrush would take an excessively long
time so I write on graph paper.) I do not recall the exact name of the
Technic set but I do know that it was a little red dune buggy or some other
type of vehicle made in the year 1999. I will find the set so that I can
tell you what you need and you may also need to use some parts from the LEGO
Shop At Home service, Larry, so I will tell you what you need in order to
make this nifty space craft for your own enjoyment, Larry.

| (...) Maybe you could check out the CAD section for a couple of programs to use to record your creations. Have you checked out www.LDraw.org? -Duane (23 years ago, 3-Jul-01, to lugnet.space)
