Hmm. I'm using a simple digital camera attached to an SGI machine.
I don't know whether it would work with such things or not. I'm
not sure my wife would give some panty hose or not. I'll keep it
in mind, though.

Hey, I've got a question.

Does anyone mount Falcons on a stand? I'd like mine to be a
centimeter or so off the ground. Does anyone do that? What do
you use? I could try to find something clear, or I could mount
it on a piece of plastic and flock it. What looks good to you?

How about the "runners" or whatever on the bottom of doomweavers
and others with that chassis? Are they really part of the model,
or there to lift it off the ground? I left mine sorta unpainted,
because I couldn't decide whether to paint them yellow to match
the rest of the vehicle, green to match flocking, or black or brown
or some other dark color. That part would only be visible if
they're sitting on top of a hill.

thanks,
andy
