I am planning on giving a Lego related talk and wanted to create a minifig with conferences logo printed on the torso. Is there any easy way to do this? I've tried using the BMP2LDraw utility to convert the logo to LDraw format but it errors out (...) (19 years ago, 23-May-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Tim, I agree. At the time the article was written, MPD was a way of packing files for easy shipping. These days it is the preffered way of working with any model that has at least one sub-model. Starting and ending as MPD is much better than (...)

(...) Bruce Chamberlain postulated that the problem is due to one of the 3-axle trucks being *pushed* through the curve rather than pulled. I suspect that a rubber band between the two 3-axle trucks would help - I will try that sometime. --Bill. (19 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX)
