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?

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

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!

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

I'm helping my parents clear out the attic. I've got most of my old instructions
for the sets here, excluding anything after 2004:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/mlist.cgi?m=262
Some are missing, torn, or folded, but in general they're in good shape.
Total weight is about 37.5 lbs, so shipping will be about $40. Email me your
best offer!
No partial sales...it's all or nothing.

Maybe the time of year has something to do with it, but I must confess to have
been moved by the generosity of a few talented builders lately. Seperately,
we’ve seen Eric Sophie,
Tim Gould and
Mark Neumann sharing not only
their MOCs, but also instructions to their MOCs with the community.
Over the years, we’ve seen all sorts of claims, conflict and general angst about
intellectual property in MOCs, using other people’s ideas, failing to credit
other people and so on, but in the last month we’ve had three people I regard as
great builders openly sharing their work. Not selling it, not offering its use
on some limited basis, not requiring credit: just sharing, and encouraging
people to build.
So, kudos to Eric, Tim and Mark for their actions, and wishing everyone the best
for the season.

Hello Eric,

Easy to build give it a try!

You are right, it is easy. I had it already built, when
the instructions
got
moderated. But the instructions showed me where I failed in copying.
They are
really well done.
|
I figured you may need to see the connections in the chest, but everything
looked fine when I first saw your initial post. I was so excited!
| |
I’m missing the helmet and the visor so I made up my own head...
|
I still have to look up what colors the helmuts came in. I have a black one I
may use for a L/BLK/T. (lol, sorry the name is not very imaginative)
ha ha, the alternate head design is so cute, lol!
| |
The two pics are both not very good. Had to use flash light as it gets night
before 5 pm now.
|
Same here in the Eastern part of the USA, The photos for the instructions were
started during the day.
| |
I will take better ones soon. When I have some good pictures I’ll send you
one for the gallery.
|
That looks great in red! Ahh I see you made use of the 1x4 Technic Brick in the
back to mount a small rocket pack? Or maybe some L-plates?
I like your choice of slopes, they give the LRT a more polished look than the
classic ones I used. Very well done!
Thank you!
You are quite welcome, a small project like this was fun to share.

The Litttle Blue Thing

Make your own and send a picture to mylegomaster at aol
dot com and I will add your version to the LBT-by-YOU gallery.
Easy to build give it a try!
If any one from the CAD community would like to render these instructions, that
would be great! Drop me a line!
