(...) For a very long time (too long according to many) LEGO has used a conversion rate of 1Euro=1USD when the actual currency conversion is quite different. At this moment, 160Euro=209USD. The case of the Crane Truck was especially 'painful' as (...) (14 years ago, 11-Aug-10, to lugnet.technic)

| | Motorized Excavator - expensive!!!

I haven't posted in this forum since 2008 and haven't built much, but upon looking at the new 8043 Excavator set at Toy's R'Us, it became apparent that although the new linear actuators dramatically simplify the process, they are not the only (...) (14 years ago, 10-Aug-10, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Wow, you're right! I was able to import an OBJ version of my minifig created with LdrDat2Obj. It didn't like the 3DS version I created with LDView for some reason, however. I'm reading one of the tutorials on animation right now. I have a (...) (14 years ago, 8-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) A warning though: When you download the trial version of Poser 8 they ask for your credit card number. And in my case they charged $1 to it despite the trial version being free and the invoice showing $0. Mike (14 years ago, 8-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I did a little research. You can create bones and poses in Daz3D Studio and Poser. Poser 8 costs $250, but you can buy Poser 7 for $50. Daz3D Studio is free, but you have to buy a $30 plugin to create your own bones and poses from scratch. (...) (14 years ago, 8-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)

I built this model a couple of months ago, but hadn't gotten around to taking any pictures. So, I took it out this morning, took pictures, and made a web page.
