Just wanted to share my new box design for a MicroModel Jet

Nice jet! Very sleek, realistic while minimal, and quite a plausible idea.
Sculpturally it works very, very well.  Good job.

The box idea is also cool.  I read about the guy from Poland who created an
art exhibit of Nazi Death Camps in LEGO which he had "merchandised" in LEGO
boxes he had designed.  I always like to see MOCs presented as a real LEGO
set, because it sort of legitimizes them and shows off the whole realm of
visual presentation involved in building and selling LEGO.  (Yes, yes, yes,
I know there are copyright concerns; these can be addressed -- please, no
one give me a lecture on that.)

About the jet, may I offer my ideas?  I think it could use just a tiny, tiny
bit of color or something to help define its shape, like a slender trailing
edge in another color, or -- perhaps -- a light or two on the inner sides of
the tail fins.  Perhaps substitute the 1x4 (it is 4, isn't it?) sloped nose
piece with a Clear one to create the illusion of a cockpit window without
altering the size or design.

Oooo I might try a different colored "nose pieces"
Red,Yellow, to see if I can get a color scheme like that.
Maybe I can come up with a "Blue Angel" style color scheme.
Should be pretty easy.
Thanks Paul for the ideas!

Now if they made LDraw FOR THE MAC!!!
I would actually create instructions and post them.

That was my thread -- let's keep thinking about this, try some ideas, and
share the successes, failures, and what we think we've learned.
I actually did design the whole box, all sides, and it looks legit.
Need a logo other than my name and it could be any fans creation!!

Thanks for sharing your splendid little item.

Paul

(...) Hey Todd, Just a quick note to let you know that thanks to some recent legwork by James Reynolds (my cohort in LDMC (URL) we're finally a couple of steps closer to or hope of a Mac based editor. We'll post more info when it's available. Matt (22 years ago, 18-Jan-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad)
