    The Eric Kingsley site is great as well.  Does anyone know if (or how) he
got the B-Wing cockpits to rotate like they are supposed to?  That is one of
the major problems I am having with the construction of my B-Wing.  Thanks • all!

Basically he has used a pair of 1x2 technic beams and a connector pin (the
grey type). One beam is incorporated in the back wall of the cockpit
immediately under the back-to-back 1x2 sloping bricks, and the other is in the
front wall of the head of the main body, directly opposite the cockpit brick.
Connect them with the pin and you're in business!

If you go to http://www.nelug.org/members/kingsley/starwars/vehicles/index.htm
and check out the two photos of the yellow/black and grey/blue ships, you can
see the beam and pin at the back of the cockpit (the pilots have been removed).

Hope this helps (and sorry Eric if I've jumped in ahead of you - I just love
the B-Wing. It's my favourite ship in SW).

<snip> (...) Yup this is basically correct although I actually used a Brick with Side Pin in the fussilage and a 1x2 technic beam in the cockpit. Either way works so it really does not matter although just as I am writing this I am thinking I should (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
