(...) Wow, that's creepy looking! It would work fairly well with some of my vehicle designs, however. As much as I dislike the juniorized Creator figs, I wonder if they aren't more to scale than minifigs... --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu (URL) (23 years ago, 15-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | "Medifig" - New scaling for minifig parts [DAT]
|
|
Hi, everyone! I've been working with LEGO's for a long time, and LDraw/MLCad for a while. Judging by some of the posts I've read, I'm not the only one dissatisfied with the overly "cute" juniorized minifigs. I do not own any of the technic figures, (...)

Steve, I took a look at it and enjoyed the work that was put into this pattern. See if you can put it on a minifig torso (after changing the light blue to light gray, of course), so that we will at least have one of the 3 Explorien torsoes. James J. (...)

(...) I haven't seen this part yet, but I have 6059 which is a 3 x 3 x 6 round panel with a spherous top. the problem I discovered was that the top part wasn't a true sphere so I would not be able to use the sphere primitives and the file size would (...)

Don and Mark, I recently aquired partn number 6909 which is a 4 x 4 x 6 (?) Round Panel with Spherous Top. I can't help but notice how similar it is to 6002 and was wondering if you two were going to try to make that part also. I tried a little, but (...) (23 years ago, 13-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I'm having a little trouble loading this as a part in MLCAD. When I load it on its own it's okay but when you use it in a Model the bow moves away from the side ribs. Does anyone else have this problem. Other than that it looks good. (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Sure, but if you're going to submit the hi-res version of 6002.dat then why don't you just submit the new primitives along with it in an MPD file? I think that's reasonable.
