  Re: There is no more parts repository
 
Hello (...) Horse? (...) I don't consider that as a good idea. It doesn't encourage a lot of part authors to mak their parts perfect.

  There is no more parts repository
 
The Tore Temporary Parts Tracker was a convenient one. It is now superceded by the official LDraw Parts Tracker when it comes to officialization. But Steve Bliss emails me that submitting a mockup or even an unfinished part and voting NO, pointing (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Piece Number?
 
Hi all, I was wondering if there is a part number associated with that large phone-handset piece that's been showing up in the UCS sets. There are two in the UCS tie fighter, I believe, and at least two in the Star Wars RBR. They are clearly seen in (...) (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Color question
 
Still on the 200101 update: I noticed that 3297P90 (slope with classic space pattern) had some polys with color 18. Isn't it an illegal color code or did I miss a discussion and now it's valid ? The FAQ doesn't say anything about being able to use (...) (23 years ago, 4-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
