That's pretty cool Dave! I especially like the jet pack. Whatever those pieces are called, they make for great wings/general body enlarging parts ( I hope you know which ones I'm talking about - they are hard to describe). I wish I had more of them. (...)

Feeling truely inspired by Mark Chan's Super Toa- (URL) I decided to tackle the one I didn't see: Onua. Oddly enough, I had the prototype jetpack built months before Onua was even available.

I've cobbled an alternate mechanism which raises and lowers the ramp of the 8680 main model. The standard one takes up too much room inside! After all, this is a cargo sled, so internal volume shouldn't be wasted if it can be done another way. Let (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)
