Since this part is on the PT, I thought I'd add the ribs. I used cone primitives (1-4con7 and 1-4con8, both on the PT) but if someone wants to supply me with appropriate torus primitive I'll use those. Please let me know if this is change of any (...)

(...) Tough call. . .the Bar hierarchy makes the most sense from a geometrical standpoint, but this seems like a Minifig Accessory. BTW, shouldn't there be a keyword "torch", since that is, in fact, what most Castle folks would recognize it as? (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) If I'm remembering the part right (sorry, I don't have one handy), I'd definitely want to use torii for the ribs. If you ask Paul Easter nicely, he might generate the file for you. (...) No ideas here, and I've been thinking about it for over (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Why not "Minifig Loudhailer" ? It applies to both town and space themes and is certainly the initial intent of TLG. Damien (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Ha! :) That's a very good idea, IMO. Although many US'ians won't get the possible double-reference. Err, this part *has* been used as a flashlight, right? Steve (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I redid the part using torus primitives. I think it looks better w/ torii for the handle and cones for the large end cylinder. Also, the large end torii would look a little better if I had a t0401250 primitive but I couldn't find one. As for the (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I'm not sure if this needs realy torii. I can live with cones because the details are so fine that it's not neccassary to use torii. For the name I suggest "Minifig Torch". It's a understandable name. Space gun is to one-sided. 0 Minifig Torch (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Yes, "Torch" is best to cover both horizontal usage and vertical usage. It has been used as a flashlight but mostly in my imagination as I can't exibit a 1980s town set proving that. Personnaly, I view it as a flashlight in any space set. It (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
