| | Part Measurements and Authoring
|
| A question for all part authors How do you figure out the measurements for your parts? I'm not talking about the obvious measurements such as stud width but the more intricate details on some of the more complex parts. Do you use a micrometer, (...) (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Budd RDC MOC
|
| Back in the 80s I used to ride the MARC train (a commuter service run by the State of Maryland) from College Park to DC. I rode the "B&0" line which used a lot of old Budd RDCs (Rail Diesel Car), usually in three car sets. The Budd RDC became my (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc) !

| Great work, Adrian! You finally figured out a use for all those extra Gungans one tends to have floating around! When did you think of assembling the model in this way? Was it planned out ahead of time or was it a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing (...) (22 years ago, 10-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

|
| (...) Hi Marc - Thanks for the help! So, I did that... since my small diameter is 2 LDU, I subtracted the number of start revolutions I had times that value so H - 12, and it still came up 2 LDU short of the total height I wanted. This is odd. It's (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)
