have a closer look than an entire gallery of pics would allow. I could include
the link to the part in the contest though (but I have to check back with orion

I think having a direct link to the part would be a great idea.

You could even include a .dat file that contains exactly one line: a reference
to the part.  LDView users (with auto-downloads turned on) could simply download
and view that file, and LDView would grab all the files needed to use the part
for them automatically.

I set up a test contest which does exactly this. ultimately the file would be
stored at ldraw.org. click on it and instead of saving on your disk open it with
LDView.
