Hello, What is the best method to purchase alot of a particular element? Or for that matter a lot of bricks in general? Pick a brick? Bricklinks? Ebay? I general I find ebay purchases to contain many of the same bricks but very few of a particular (...) (15 years ago, 15-Aug-09, to lugnet.parts)

At the (URL) IndyLUG> August meeting/pool party, we were repeatedly attacked by a hell-spawned giant insect, A.K.A. the very persistent horse fly. I decided to make a vignette of the scene. The fly itself may be just a bit exaggerated in size, but (...) (15 years ago, 15-Aug-09, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.org.us.indylug, FTX)

(...) OK, thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I think the plastic wheels are little too big for my Segway, but if I ever get a hold of some, I can use them and call it an off-road version; just the thing for the commuter who wants to pretend he's (...) (15 years ago, 15-Aug-09, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Hi Tim, you are correct. S-scale would have been the best fit, unfortunately, this particular scheme was not available in S, so I was stuck with HO. Regarding the construction, it certainly is more complicated than it looks. The picture isn't (...) (15 years ago, 15-Aug-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi Mark If you can't get your hands on the original dev kit CD-ROM, you should be able to program it with NQC. If the hardware is the same as the Dark Side Development Kit (pretty sure it is) NQC works brilliantly. Cheers Tom (...) (15 years ago, 15-Aug-09, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars)

Picked up a used Droid Developer Kit (set #9748) via garage sale. Had the instruction manuel, the micro-scout and missing less than a handful of parts (easily replaced). However, it was also missing the CD_Rom. Anyone know where I can get a (...) (15 years ago, 15-Aug-09, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars)

Well, I built this MOC in about 5 days, (not counting the time waiting for parts) but waited 30 days to finally get decals on it. Unfortunately, O-scale was too big, and HO-scale is too small, but I had to go with HO, cause it at least fit. (URL) (...) (15 years ago, 15-Aug-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX) !

|
--snip-- (...) The majority of LDraw users I know of outside LUGNET (flickr, facebook and TBB) use MLCAD and LDview for their LDraw experience. It's not a full poll and it's not a big sample but it's probably a better example of 'new users' than (...) (15 years ago, 14-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Quality is important, but the first priority of Ldraw should always be to make it easy to create and share the models. Photo-realism is nice, to be sure, but certainly a somewhat lower priority. I'm not aware of any photo-realistic realtime (...) (15 years ago, 13-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Couldn't find the word "vitriol" in my dictionary, just "vitrify". But from the context I conclude it's something like aggressive, rude, grumpy, impolite, or emotional. And yes, I admit I've been unnesessarily grumpy and I am truly sorry for (...) (15 years ago, 13-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Hi Kevin, I just realised that there might be a way to do this by exploiting the way LDRAW defines parts. All mirrored parts should be written as a bunch of studs and a subpart which is either mirrored or non-mirrored. By determining which (...) (15 years ago, 13-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad)
