 | | My Mecha's Head [DAT]
|
|
I got hit by builder's block while working on my mech a while ago. I was very unhappy with the Torso, and I couldn't visualize the legs. After demolishing the torso and staring at the pieces, I decided to try a new tack, and work on the head. After (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas)

| | Subparts for Black Falcon and Wolfpack Patterns ?
|
|
When I fix the bowties in the Black Falcon and Wolfpack shields (this weekend), would it be more sensible to make each pattern a subpart (or two), which could be shared between shields, torsos and flags, scaled appropriately? If I had done this to (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
