Blasphemer! Blasphemer! That's not LEGO!

Just kidding. :-) Actually, this is really cool. I've been thinking
for a couple of weeks of asking if anyone had made K'Nex pieces for
LDraw. I was wanting to draw up some ideas to share with my cousin
while thinking about making a new giant roller coaster. You can see
the last two at http://www.fozztexx.com/RedFingerExpress

Check it out at http://home.ifriendly.com/~fourfarrs/knex.htm

The first image for the rubber band gun is broken, and the zip file of
the parts returns a 404.

Does anyone know of K'nex newsgroups?

I haven't found any that were specific to K'Nex. I've mostly been
using the LEGO groups. I was actually a little surprised and
disappointed there isn't a K'Nex group on Lugnet.

(...) I believe I fixed the bugs. The image was desigated as a local file, and the zip file was incorrectly titled. And for anyone interested, the .dat file for the rubber-band gun can be found here: (URL) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
