I just made my very first non-technic LEGO model since my childhood this
weekend, and thought I might post it here.

I wanted to make use of the 2x4x4 trans blue cylinder I have, and I also
wanted some interesting canopy.  So I thought, why not combine these
two?  Using the cylinder as a canopy works pretty well in my opinion.
It is tilted using two 2x1 hinge pieces and lies sloped onto two 6x1
sloped technic pieces.  Which are offset by half a stud to make room for
the pilot's hands.

There's some images at

When I learn to make a sky background with clouds in POV-Ray, I'll
probably add that.

I still haven't got LDAO to inline models, and I guess doing it by hand
will be far to much work, so I can't post an inlined DAT file to
lugnet.cad.dat.
