(...) The rendering looks cool. Add some engines to it, and it could fly. :-) Your posting to cad.dat.models is messed up though. Several lines have been wrapped, which causes ldlite to choke. You can fix this by increasing the line length in the (...) (26 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)

better idea is to make a .MPD file with the parts in them. i "un-inlined" the hulls and it went all the way down to ~20k add the size of the ufo hull and it is at an acceptable size. (26 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)

[removed .trains from crosspost list] (...) You un-inlined the file that Ben posted by converting it to an MPD, and this reduced it from 429K to ~20K??? Awesome! --Todd (26 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.cad)

20k + the size of the ufo hull... (26 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.cad)

great mdel. i think that if you took the bottom ufo hulls off and removed the stand,baseplate and added some mre layers it would make a great storage drum for oil or grain or whatever. (26 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)

(...) Isn't there a big aqua/hydronauts set that has it? 2 in Black, I think. Name escapes me but it has a big stinger tail. That water tower is very cool.
