Brian, Wow! Umm... Wow! :-) I would really like to be able to see more detail, I’m just getting to the point where I can start building some MOCs and I can see that there is a lot for me to learn!

Brian, That would be really awesome! The first thing I'll probably need that info for is an AT-AT walker... I really want to build one of those. Do you know of anyone who has posted DAT files for it? How about yours? Looks really good. Do the legs (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars)

Ronald, I'll build up a leg for you and take some pics. However, to give you some insight on the designs used on the model: 1. The pieces of the legs are perpendicular to the ground, that is the studs are facing to the side rather than to the top. (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars)
