Hey buddy! Brad it's a joy to see the magic you create. This one is really
somthing. Because I'm not familar with the CAD Lego stuff, it's really
something to see all those shapes and angles and trying to deciper where
they start and end. This is spectacular! What a design. Congrats.
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the compliments.  I was anti-CAD for a long time, but decided to
get into it when we were temporarily in an appartment (waiting for our house
to be built).  I only had a bit of space for real LEGO, but I got to use as
many parts as desired with the CAD stuff.  Now that I have space, I prefer
the real thing, but its sometimes fun to fool with CAD to see what you could
do with unlimited parts.


Like I said it's always a joy to see the creations you make.

BTW do you still have that cool Factory I see on the Greatest hits page?
You mean the power plant?  That's still there.  Actually, a lot of people
have said they like this, but I've never been that hot on it.  In fact, I
had to steal 2 corner black castle walls from it to expand the Emerald
Cathedral.  I'm really not sure how this thing got on the greatest hits page
(and not some of my other stuff that I think is much better).  To each his
own.


Have a good time at this next Lug Meeting.
Hopefully I'll be around in Sept. Actually if I don't go I been threatend
with bodily harm!! LOL... I think you know who and what I mean!!
I can't guarantee that I'll be able to make the September meeting because I
have a baby on the way.  However, if you are specially in town, then I MIGHT
be able to negotiate with my wife for you (and perhaps a few other folks) to
stop by and see Bricktopia.


Hey I just realized we can now have all my guests for my wedding gathered • at
this structure! And they won't have to pack themselves into the • surrounding
buildings around the Emerald Cathedral and look down to the services!
Actually, I think this building only holds about 20 people!  The Cathedral
of Ice would probably be more suitable.


One more thing. I just picked up a Jurassic Park set #1370.
The set has some really great parts, including a 6 stud tall window frame
that has a clear pivoting "glass" in the center. Have you seen this yet?
I'll send you $5 bucks for gas money and you hop in your car and drive • down
to TRU and get a couple! I mean make that all of them!
Sorry - We tend to get things LAST on the west coast.  I saw one copy of
that set about two weeks ago and a kid snapped it up.  I've not seen it
since then.  You will likely see it again before me.

Again good work.
C-ya
Eric
Thanks

Its been a while since I've done something in CAD, but I found an old • flying

The result is a bit smaller than previous efforts, but decidedly more • unusual.

Here is the web page describing it:

If anyone wants the MLCAD files, let me know (by email) and I'll be happy • to
send them to you.

Comments are appreciated.
