One of the older Technic kits that has shown up on my radar is the 1992 Airtech Claw Rig 8868. Feedback from set owners is good in that both people who claim ownership mention it as one of their favorites. The problem with getting ahold of one is (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

yeah, i would've liked a W-12, but that seemed to hard at first, and the T- block achieves the same basic idea. I'm working on chassis stuff now, hopefully I'll have pics in a few days or so....... PS: The W-block may fit in a smaller space, anyone (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

It got 12 cylinders, 4 on the left facing horizontal, and four on the right, with 4 on top. the side have a gap in the middle, due to the crank shaft needing room to turn. Runs very smooth tho. only takes the same length as a V- 10 would. My attempt (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)
