Wow, thanks very much. And to be compared with Bram... oof. Gotta get busy
and live up to that one. In the meantime, you might like some of the fixtures
in http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=720, my virtual house. I
want to make some nice interiors for my castles eventually, too. I like
working on small things because they're quick to do, don't take up much space
(the new castle covers over a third of my work table) and easy to LDraw. A
challenge to get to work sometimes, too, like this one.
(I just noticed that the DAT file for the spinning wheel isn't the same one
that's pictured, but an earlier version, using half-bushes <part:4265b> for
legs instead of full-size ones <part:3713>. If you use full-size ones, it
sticks to a studded surface, where the half-bushed one does not, and has to be
balanced very carefully to stand up. It's fixed now.)
Yup, there's more to come - I just have to wait for the co-occurance of a
finished model, a sunny morning (so I can take pictures on my south-facing
deck) and a sleeping baby!
Cheers, Heather
