Congratulations on initial completion of your first part.

I don't have this part (at least I don't think), so I can't comment on the
accuracy of the geometry. However, I can comment on three things I saw.
First, it looks like you used color 16 instead of color 24 for the solid edge
lines. That should be really easy to fix.
The second problem won't be so easy. Your conditional edge lines (type 5 lines)
are pretty messed up. This isn't too unusual, since those tend to throw new
part authors off the most. (I'm not a part author, but as a program author,
I've spent a lot of time thinking about conditional edge lines.) Actually,
though, it looks like perhaps you left them in from the old geometry. When I
select the Show all uption under Edge Lines in LDView, they seem to follow the
old curves.
Finally, the inner curve on one side seems to be missing.

| (...) Ah, conditional lines! I didn't even think about those. Thanks! I'll look into it and see if I can figure it out. I'll also learn how to use Show All Edge Lines. By the way, the part is common to 3 of the large good guys of Knights Kingdom. I (...) (20 years ago, 20-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| Finally, my fair (if not terrible) first attempt at part authoring is ready for submission (as soon as parts@ldraw.org lets me). What a learning experience! It took 12 version saves to get "close". And I'm sure there's more to learn after the (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
