Very good, Todd. I'm glad you have found what POV can do for your models. It is a great way to show off what you've done. Roy (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)

Looks Great Todd!! and I like how you did those chess pieces! Yes I have to admit, L3P is a great prg! Lars did a good job on it!

Nice work Fredrik. I am curious about the base, can you pick up a load at full extension of the tractor. Looks like it would tip over. The mechanics really are neat. I like the diagrams. Wouldn't it be nice to have all the right color parts? -- Bob (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

It is probably common for Technic fans to make a large crane. Here's my version, in a rather bad colour sheme. I have taken a lot of inspiration from Leo Dorst. There's more descriptive text on the URL below. And even an image of myself taken by my (...) (26 years ago, 27-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)
