|
Hi, I have created to new old train parts and uploaded these to the parts tracker. 'new' because these parts are new for LDraw, 'old' because the parts themselves are old. Part x511 is the old Electric Train Track Contact Base for the blue track: (...) (19 years ago, 29-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Well, we traced over them today and the two parts do not match each other (i.e. they have slightly different radii and are not complimentary/mirror images of one another). Maybe this is true, but I suspect it's just the angle of the part in (...) (19 years ago, 25-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) I tilted the underside shots to show how the attachment points affect the framework, because it wouldn't be possible to see in a head on-shot (which would be pretty warped anyways). The distribution of the framework is excactly the same (...) (19 years ago, 24-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Thanks for that, I'll see what my students can do. Couple of questions/comments: The info scans are great because they show how the parts go together, as well as the undersides.. Unfortunately they're not so good for measuring because the extra (...) (19 years ago, 21-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Now the scans are finished, I thought that others might be interested to see them (at least when someone starts on the ldraw-version), so I've posted them in this BS folder earlier today: (URL) I've included some composite pictures with comments (...)

I did some scans in 100dpi yesterday, and am making a combined picture of each part with comments. I will be making a special scan for the curve in a higher reslolution afterwards. Cheers NB (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) That might be overkill.. Though the higher the res the more accurate the measurement will be. Send me something smaller and I'll see how it looks. Also remember to include something in the scan that I can use for reference - I can't remember (...) (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) What an excellent idea! It has completely flat sides, so no problems there. What sort of resolution do you want? (I think I can go up to 1200x1200 dpi without crashing the computer) Regarding the underside structure, the sides are completely (...)

(...) Ooh. Well, that might be fun to model, in any case! (...) Do you have a scanner? If you do, you could scan it and send me the digital file - that would actually be better than an oblique photograph. I can then import the image file into (...)

I'm looking for a .dat for the canopy from the new Jedi Starfighter: (URL) I would be happy to have an unprinted one... is anyone working on this? I didn't find it on the tracker. (2 URLs) Tony Hafner (URL) www.hafhead.com> (19 years ago, 14-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
