Thought some of you might appreciate the instructions I posted for a simple little starfighter model I built from two sets, the new Space Police “Raid VPR” and the Star Wars “Separatist’s Shuttle”.

Here’s the model, including links to the instruction images:



And here’s the first page of the instructions themselves:



Hope you enjoy.

Jim

Ah, Lugnet. Looks like I borked the image links. Let’s try that again.

You may have borked the link, but your render is simply stunning. Well done, and thanks for posting!

Did you use Bricksmith to create it?

Thanks! Just to be clear, the first image is an actual photo (although I did post some other images and test renderings of the LDraw version on Flickr).

Yep. My standard procedure is to build a model with real bricks, then to rebuild it in Bricksmith (a process of carefully disassembling and reassembling the actual model to figure out a logical sequence of steps, which is usually very different than the way it’s first built), and lastly to produce instructions with LPub 4 (which has some definite quirks, but close attention and a little hand-editing of the LPub commands keeps it manageable).

Jim,

Very nice indeed! May I have the list of quirks, or are you looking into them?
