Some of the vignettes are from the game, and some are not. Enjoy! (URL) Click the image, silly (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, FTX) !!

The HEMTT is beautiful, but the color is throwing me off. I have never seen drab olive (military green) color LEGO bricks. What's the secret? "Ed Andrews" <andrews@no.span.maxiis.com> wrote in message news:IA016D.15z5@lugnet.com... (...) on in a (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.build)

I forgot to make one very important remark: Not everybody uses the same RGB colour values: this may lead to entirely different results, even if the same algorythm was used. Sometimes it seems better to alter the RGB values slightly. I thought of (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic)
