Ah yes, that too. And the two yellow tools that go into the clips on the
very back. And I guess technically, the minifig. :)
When was LDraw first released? This must've been right around that time...
It's amazing how many elements James modeled all by himself.

Hasn't been worked on since James took a first shot at it in early December,
1995...

Eeek but that validates light-colored beer! :) I think it was Jeff
Thompson who first came up with a "liquids" method for distinguishing
between the two transparent yellows:
- Beer yellow (regular traditional transparent yellow)
- Alien vomit yellow (neon/chartreuse/antifreeze yellow-green)
I drink darker beers, so I use "beer yellow" only in jest. :)
