Hej Jeroen, thx for the credits!! I'm surprised you used the LGEO library for this, since in my view more realism can be achieved by the 'normal' LDRAW brickset together with a 'seam' between bricks. But anywayz: nice work! happy renderings! (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.models)
