Hi Thomas,
Very nice parts! I teach a class in 3D CAD at a Community College in
California, and I have had my students model a LEGO dragster for a few
semesters now. As LDraw gets better and better with the additions of
applications like LPub and LSynth, I've had to change my class (it would be too
easy for a student to model his vehicle in MLCAD and submit that to me). Now I
have them design their own parts, using LEGO as a base and the LDraw system of
measurment.
Do you mind me pointing my students to your site for inspiration? We work in a
slightly larger scale than minifig, though (and frankly some of the cars in the
BShelf link don't look much like their full scale namesakes..) ;-)
Another idea I had is linking my students' work with our CNC deptartment. We
have an ABS rapid prototyping machine; would you mind if I tried to prototype
one of your parts? I was thinking about trying one of your front airdams; it
would look really cool on the front of one of my LEGO cars! If it works, I'll
send you one. My only problem is we won't be offering the class (due to budget
cuts) for at least another semester.
