(...) Thanks Paul for your very kind words (again). I do my best to get the best out of sets to inspire others hopefully. Perhaps I'm able to present instructions for this model too someday. If TLC would commission me then there will be instructions (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.space, lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Currently, the base of the model has been disassembeled because of problems that I encountered with the slewing and crawling. The motors and gearing were off, and the crane wouldn's slew under its own power with the full 50 lbs of (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Alvin- WOW! What a great way to start off the new year. Awesome MOC! That's certainly a record-breaking crane. The boom construction looks sturdy and you've done a good job there. I think you're about to even-up with ROSCO for the largest (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

Rearrange the rubberbands so that they help keeping the door closed when it has been closed a certain amount. To do this the hinge with the rubberband powered lewer needs to pass 180° which might be a problem. But if you solve that the rubberband (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That was done JUST with 4403 parts? Rockin! Designer sets rock and that's one of my faves. You've packed an amazing amount of detail into that build and it does look like a variant on the real F all right. (although red paint would play havoc (...)
