  Re: New Feature Article - Progress in the LDraw Community...
 
Hey Kyle, I guess the "petition" thing was a bit misleading, but it's no big deal really. It's just a holdover from the previous incarnation of the LDMC site, which James Reynolds and I are trying to get updated as time allows. What was really meant (...)

  "Medifig" - New scaling for minifig parts  [DAT]
 
Hi, everyone! I've been working with LEGO's for a long time, and LDraw/MLCad for a while. Judging by some of the posts I've read, I'm not the only one dissatisfied with the overly "cute" juniorized minifigs. I do not own any of the technic figures, (...)

  Re: Another rev to the Explorien Logo
 
Steve, I took a look at it and enjoyed the work that was put into this pattern. See if you can put it on a minifig torso (after changing the light blue to light gray, of course), so that we will at least have one of the 3 Explorien torsoes. James J. (...)

I'm trying to build my first L-draw / MLcad model, and my first step was to use a 1x10 technic beam, and since my parts list only has 1x2 and 1x14, my virtual creation stopped before it started.
