This is very true advice. Your mock up is useful... to you and others. It
allows people to make models and simply insert a official part when It
becomes available. John's observation on new people making several mock-ups
and then delving into a real part is also true. I am at the point where I
am confident enough in LEdit to and a text editor to start making a real
part. Up to this point making a part was just too confusing... I needed
some LEditing background to just understand the explanations of how to do
it in the FAQs. I have made several mock-ups in the past, but now that I
have some experience I think that I can start flailing about with a new
part. As he said the main part authors are very willing to help with
answering questions. With experience in LEdit will come the ability to make
parts and the more authors the faster the LDraw inventory will match the
Lego inventory. :)

| OK, so... it there any repository of mock ups? I could add mine so others could used it! :-) Something tells me the cyberMaster unit will take a long time to be created, since it has many round areas and one of those also have drawings in it. (...) (26 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
