This year's models are truly the best they've produced.

This year, I had the honor and privilege of creating the building instructions
(BI) for the Ambassador models.

I've been creating "like official" BI for a few years now.  It started with a
Hummingbird model for the pick-a-brick shop:

and then a Christmas ornament a few months later:

http://www.brickoracle.com/pdf/LLC.JK.002-Reindeer_Ornament.pdf

And now I've done the BI for the two models for this year's class.  I used ALE
tools:

LeoCAD to model the steps
LDView to generate output

Plus Adobe InDesign for layout, and makefiles and shell scripts for many of the
mechanics.

I think that these samples really show the power and capability that ALE-built
LEGO CAD and BI tools have.  I do believe we have "arrived," ladies and
gentlemen.

Hi Joshua,

  What does ALE stand for?  No offense, but in the world of BI's, I thought we'd
been here for quite a while?!?!?

(...) Well it's possible Joshua was actually referring to amber fluid, however I think he probably meant "Adult LEGO Enthusiast". Or maybe both. ROSCO (14 years ago, 25-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) ALE = Adult LEGO Enthusiast (as pointed out) By "arrived," I meant BI so close to official that it's hard to tell apart from the "real thing," and so good that TLG (or, at least, a part of it) allowed me to use LEGO enthusiast-created tools (...) (14 years ago, 25-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)
