Cool-o! Not quite perfectly perfectly perfect yet, but getting very very
close!!
Someday my Raptor can be modeled then? :)
James Jessiman made these images about 4 years ago:
http://www.fibblesnork.com/lego/raptor/
He worked from a couple scrawlings that I posted (the URLs of):
http://www.fibblesnork.com/lego/raptor/raptor-scrawl1.gif
http://www.fibblesnork.com/lego/raptor/raptor-scrawl2.gif
Two things weren't available in LDraw at the time: the sloped brick with
the Blacktron logo and the hoses.
BTW, looking at the date on the first scrawling, it seems that the model is
coming up on its 10th anniversary in a little less than 3 months. Any
takers on finishing the work James started on it and also rendering it in
POV?

p.s. How do the hoses look in transparent beer yellow? (See

http://www.lugnet.com/fibblesnork/lego/guide/space/set/pic-1968-1.html
for proof that these existed... The connector ends are traditional
trans-beer-yellow and the hoses are murky translucent beer yellow --
not totally transparent but definitely not opaque either... :)
