Hi all,

Here is my entry for the blacktron I space contest:

http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=9419

I haven't posted much in .space before, and I don't own any blacktron I
sets.  For our local Parlugment meeting we had to build some sort of
space MOC - so I decided to modify it slightly, add the correct colors
and render it in Povray.  I've only recently began working with
ldraw/mlcad, and so far I'm impressed with the ease of creating
beautiful renderings.  Its also great when you don't have the right
color pieces for a blacktron MOC :)

The ship is about 110 pieces, so it should go into Category III - Small
Air.  It's name is the Arrow.  Simple name, but it sort of looks like an
arrowhead from the top view.

I have to say that working with MLCAD and Povray has been a joy.  I used
l3p to convert the dat files to povray files.  The tools are fairly
straight forward, and with a little work you can get some impressive
results.  Kudos to the Ldraw/MLCAD team!  I soon hope to be rendering
some more complex scenes as a Scene of the Month entry on the ldraw.org
page.

Scrutinizer, I will send the .dat files shortly to you.

Cheers,
Kevin

(...) S'Cool. Having done my entry in MLCAD/POVRay as well, I gotta ask: "How'd you do the hoses?" I was gonna add some (it doesn't seem completely BT1 w/o yellow hoses), but trying to build the things segment by segment caused much blurriness of (...)
