Chris: Thanks for the info. During this week if i have time i should be working with the Xwing mechanic torso and a few others from older sets. I would soon post all the models on a web page so ppl can d/l them. What do i have to do to submit parts (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) This looks a pretty good way of doing the more complex torsos quickly (I assume it is quicker than the manual method), although I have got pretty quick at doing primitive-based versions, once I have drawn them up on graph paper. I have (...) (25 years ago, 17-Oct-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Do you mean the mechanic in the X-wing set? The X-wing pilot torso has been done. General feedback on your torsos: I agree with Steve that these are pretty good for patterns based on scans. They do come out quite large (the police torso would be the (...) (25 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
