| | | | | Very cool. Ok, I live by the sea and get a vertigo above everything higher 2 meters, so maybe I'm not an expert in climbing. But the dramatic view of the picture is excellent. Very good application of virtual lego. And an additional extra bonus (...) (18 years ago, 14-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

I have been trying to find a good solution for buildng a LEGO climbing wall, and I am now kicking myself for not thinking of just making the walls "sideways' Well Done!

The diagonal shadow that the top climber is in lines up perfectly (...) (18 years ago, 14-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

Many (most?) programs that allow you to create JPEG images don't support this option. It also (...) (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
