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 program you are using to
post from. The "standard" line length is 79 characters, which is fine for
general posting, but for posting dat files you should increase that
*temporarily* to a large number. Like 150 or so.
I also believe you can circumvent this problem by posting the dat file directly
from the web interface rather than using a newsreader or email program.
If you decide to repost the model, remember that you can also Cancel the
current post to get rid of it.
