  Observatory - revised teaser pic
 
Hi all, Since this teasing with pics is popular, I thought I'd put one up too! Look at (URL) wait for more!!! Jaco (22 years ago, 17-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Most of my dat files available for download
 
(...) I apologize: due to Lycos-Multimania the previous direct link does not work. So give it another try, the download only works from the site main page: (URL) left click on "download LDraw files". Damien (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

Many old and some new models: (URL) is the recommended viewer. Thanks to LDraw.org (too many to be cited here), Thanks to Michael Lachmann and Travis Cobbs, Damien (22 years ago, 15-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

  Re: Observatory
 
(...) That's terrific! What a great idea. In your revised version, do you plan on adding doors to the dome, and giving the telescope a greater range in declination? Jeff J (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.space)

  Re: Observatory
 
Unfortunenatly the only motors I own are these (I have 2) and an older 4.5V one. Another LEGO friend is busy making me some gearing to give the motor more power. Since I am rebuilding an revising the whole model, expect it! Jaco "Ross Crawford" (...) (22 years ago, 10-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Observatory
 
(...) That motor you're using is the old-style technic motor thats not geared down, so it has much less torque - you may have more luck with a new-style one (URL) however that may rotate it too fast. Another possibility is the micro-motor (URL) (...) (22 years ago, 9-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.space)

(...) moving (...) I am trying to give the motor more power (with a little help), for now it does not or barely move the top of the dome. Only if you do not tighten it to the telescope holder. Jaco (22 years ago, 9-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Observatory
 
Inspiration was more of doing something with a dome using the sphere generator. It was part of Steendam at LEGOWORLD 2002! I am rebuilding it now, and adding more detail. Jaco "M.

Wow! That is cool. It looks perfectly like an observatory, and the moving dome is just great. So much realism in that! Very cool. And the CAD files are nice, too. -JHK (...) (22 years ago, 9-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.space)
