This is very much my approach
I'll try a way, and exhaust its possibilities before attacking the problem
from another direction, sometimes working backwords, destroying earlier
solutions that worked just fine before.
This was particularly true of my digger model, where pretty much the entire
model went through several rebuilds to fit it all in.
This is, of course, excellent work jennifer. Especially the realism of the
detailing, this is a model team model with technic workings. Congrats. I
have decided that there are no more construction vehicles to make (except
maybe a grader, but that dosn't particularly interest me) so I've got a far
more radical plan in store for my next model.. if i can pull it off!
Nice work

| (...) Sounds intriguing, although I most strongly disagree with the notion that there are no more construction vehicles to make - but then, I would :-) Jennifer (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.technic)
