No rush Kevin. There are probably not too many of us making instructions for
models of this size, and we at least have (painful) workarounds in the interim.
If you never get to it, I'm still very thankful for LPub, and if you do get to
it, you are just that much more awesome.
I've always thought that you should test out large LPub models by making
instructions for your pneumatic hexapod and then giving them to me. ;-)
