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).

   Did you use Bricksmith to create it?

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?

Kevin
