(...) I remember seeing a model like that in the video clip from when you were interviewed on Dutch TV. That is amazing! It is even better to see it again. Are you going to bring any of your models to BrickFest this year or any year in the future? (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) The first compressor (250-300 psi) is too powerful, unless you can put a regulator or pressure reducing valve on it. 20-30 psi is probably ideal. See this old thread: (URL) (18 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.technic)
