Hey Calum, And here I thought rtltoronto was all about robots and sarcastic humor. :) This is an awesome building! The transition from the curved part to the straight part is really cool. Bruce (21 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

(...) LEGO string is a tri-twist. LSynth knows about twisting things (e.g. minifig-chain). LSynth's twist amount/fixed segment is configurable. We could decide what the sortest segment we would ever need and then maybe use 3, 6, or 9 cylinders to (...) (21 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)
