Wow! A lot of compliment, thanks. I like this model, and I am glad others
did too. I hope people make it, because IMHO it looks good, but plays
better. (a scrunched up rug makes a great moonscape). Right -- Like we have
time to build the models of others, as well as our own.
For the rubber bands I took the LDraw cylinder primitive, increased the
radius and lengthened it to what I needed (and that would be pushing the
envelope of my part making ability). The curves are simply shorter sections
of the thicken cylinder placed end to end (with a little overlap). The
straight sections are just a longer single cylinder. I subparted sections
used multiple times and inlined before posting. A lot of fiddling with
movements of 0.1 of a unit.
I know that John Van is working on a excel spreadsheet that will draw
flexible parts through given points. I am waiting patiently (sorta) for
this program because I have several meters of pneumatic tubing to LDraw, and
I can't bring myself to do it in the above fashion.
As to the renderings you (and I) can thank Lars Hassing for L3P.exe
http://www.netby.net/Nord/Mandelvej/Hassing/l3p.html .
Technic is great! "There is no way you can do that in Lego"... Ahhh, my
favorite phrase.
