(...) I agree with that. I would have no objections to linking to custom sites for non-lego parts. The more the merrier. I just think that LDraw should remain just that. Not MBDraw or TDraw. :-) -- Terry K -- (26 years ago, 11-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Clone "semi-bricks" (Was: Non-TLG Parts)
|

What actual color are the patterned radar pieces in M:Tron and Blacktron I? I don't have them and so I guessed at neon yellow-green (298) for M:Tron and regular yellow (14) for BTI. But then I noticed that the space landing pad baseplates use light (...) (26 years ago, 10-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
