|
| | | I've made a Technic Beach Buggy with independent front suspension. It is made in the Technic LEGO style, meaning that the body is not full; it is only outlined by the Technic bricks. I'm not too happy with the front windscreen and the seats, but (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jun-99, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | | | (...) I'm afraid I can't help you here. I have only used the LDraw DAT format and the POV-Ray format. I have no experience with other formats. Try the newsgroup `lugnet.dat'. Perhaps someone there can help you. BUT: You can make animations using (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jun-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | (...) Wow, thanks. It will probably be more clear how the vehicle is constructed when I can release the LDraw source. It surprised me how sleek the front suspension could be made using the new style Technic parts. Perhaps this is how the 8448 front (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jun-99, to lugnet.build)
