|
The only thing that really ever bugged me about the new Y-Wing is the improperly oriented engine struts. If you attached a 4x4 square plate to the engine, the struts should be at the corners, not in the middle of the sides, as they are. I've been (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Two layers of Macaroni bricks would work well, too. It would make the engines longer and you'd have to alternate them, but I think it would work. Jeff (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) How would that work? You'd still end up with odd tile edges. The happy thing is that I also have both of those ancient sets, so I have a pair of those round 4x4 turntables! AFAIK, they were never in any colour but black. But you know what (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Actually, they have been made in red too (I've got some from set 570), and also in white if I'm not mistaken. (...) Hehe. But it won't be my 4x4 plateless turntables I'm throwing... -Tom McD. when replying, use a plate with your spamcake. (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) What do you mean "odd tile edges"? You shouldn't need to use tiles at all. To make a stable cylinder with macaroni bricks, you have to rotate each layer by 45 degrees. Do this with two layers and it should work fine. Of course, to get 16 gray (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Would you really need two layers? I don't have any macaroni bricks handy, but from what I remember (and from LDraw), you should be able to replace the second-to-last 4x4 cylinder brick with 4 macaroni bricks, and then put the final 4x4 (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
