Hey Janey, Thanks so much for the welcome, and I'm glad you like my GBC. I would love to come to the Hobby show if I can find the time. When would you need to know by? BTW is anyone going to the LEGO build this weekend at the Ex? Deane (17 years ago, 15-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic)

I built it last night. My earlier problem was in trying to use 4-stud axles to hold the pulleys in their offset position -- this is hard to describe, but the gist of it is the axles sometimes got in the way of other pulleys and warped their (...) (17 years ago, 15-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
