I'm fixing the Perl code that generates the curved surface of the Half [1] Onion Dome (part 44511) from its control data. At the moment the surface comprises counter-clockwise wound quads (ABCD) [3] and conditional lines (AB, BC, CD and DA). (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I think you have made an assumption about the particular parts you are using as a model. The printing process LEGO uses/used for this is faulty, and the white strips you are referring to on the rocket and helmet appear to me to be simply an (...)

(...) The first, definitely. Also, looking at the second scanned image (sorry, I snipped it from this reply), the white 'seam' down the side of the astronaut's helmet appears to be strictly a printing defect - the white ink is positioned slightly (...)

(...) The surface of this brick is perfectly smooth, so the blue pattern I see is not caused by brick texture, but by the screen printing process. Nevertheless, looking at the two mock-ups, I think the white version is closer to what it "should" (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) Ok, which looks "right"? This: (URL) or this: (URL) C'mon. It's classic space, not Power Rangers (or Knights Kingdom). There are no light blue spacemen or spaceships in classic space. The moon is not made of bleu cheese. Look with the eyes of (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) hm ... this is in tune with steve (initially I used light blue 9): "Yes, I think it would work better to use color 503 (light gray from Mosaic) instead of light blue. If those zones are really a vary light shade of blue, you could try 505 (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I have now located my copy of this part. The areas you mention defintely have a feint blue coloration. I believe this is deliberate, as I can make out the regular pattern of screening dots. This is most obvious on the larger areas, but I (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Compare it to a smooth brick and you'll see what I mean. This was probably done (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
