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?

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”.

Ah, Lugnet. Looks like I borked the image links. Let’s try that again.
Here’s the model, including links to the instruction images:
And here’s the first page of the instructions themselves:

Hello,
it’s been quite a while since my last post. I’ve been busy...
Find details here.
More pics are already on brickshelf.

One question, though, because either my monitor or my eyes lack the
resolution to tell for sure: is the booklet staple-bound like “real”
instructions? That is, is it a bunch of sheets folded in half together and
stapled on the crease? If so, that’s ideal.

Yes, the binding is stapled. Lulu offers a few differing binding options
(stapled, plastic coil, paperback-like “perfect” binding, etc.), but stapled is
the only option available for a minimal number of pages (22, in this case). I
was worried that it would be too rigid, but it easily lies open to any page. The
front and back covers are a heavier weight paper.

Hi!
I recently used Lulu.com to publish
LPub instructions for a
model I created
a few months ago. I have determined that I need to use higher resolution
rendering settings and possibly avoid gradient backgrounds for optimal
results with this printing solution, but in general I am extremely pleased
with the results.
It makes me giddy to hold a glossy printed booklet of instructions for my own
model. Other photos of the booklet may be seen
here.

Very cool--I love it! To be honest, it would never have occurred to me to use
Lulu; I got as far as “I should try Kinkos,” and that’s where I sort of stalled.
I have to say that the end results look amazingly professional and high-quality.
Color me envious!

Again, very cool. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for making it absolutely
imperative that I try to achieve something similar!
Dave!

Hi all,
A few years ago I found some cute models of birds by MisaQa on Brickshelf.
If kind of "fell in love" with them and started creating LDraw files for some of
them. I am now creating full building instructions and will be putting them on
my website. Right now there are 5 swans and 1 ostrich on it and the rest will
follow in the upcomming weeks. The page is in Dutch. However I think it is
readable and understandable for non-Dutch speakers.
It features downloads for LDraw files, PDF instruction sheets and renders.
Here's the link: http://www.binarybricks.nl/voorbeelden/misaqabirds/
Enjoy!
Jaco
