Then I'll build some more, until I get stuck on another piece. Then I'll (...) (25 years ago, 10-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

And they need to have (at least) a 1x2 footprint for stability. A 1x1 would wiggle around (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | | (...) Good arguments, but I think they could have been two instead of three plates high. The worst one though, is the hinge used for the X-wing canopy. It could have been a plate, which would make it easier to place things behind the pilot. Don't (...) (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
