(...) it's a cool concept but not very cost effective. i imagine those tank treads are going to go for .20 cents or more on bricklink. i could see this being feasable for something large and possibly space, but i'd concider trying something cheaper.

I have the 8889 book, and looking closely at your photos and the book's I couldn't find even one tiny difference. (Apart fromt he blue beam you mentioned but that doesn't count). It's THAT good. Since you already experienced the anguish of seeing (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)
