Hi folks. Here is a little model loosely inspired by the Vipers of Battlestar
Galactica. As with some of my other models, it is built with a single copy of
the B-Wing Fighter (set 6208).
What I’d really like to share, however, is my appreciation for the great
LDraw tools we have today. In particular, I think the quality of the building
instructions we can create is just phenomenal. I used
Bricksmith 2,
LDView, and
LPub 4 to digitize the model and create
these instructions. Some steps could certainly be organized better (and I
welcome your suggestions), but the truth is I’m quite proud of how sharp
these instructions look:

It wouldn’t be possible without the hard work Allen, Travis, and Kevin have
put into the continued improvement of their wonderful programs. Thanks, too,
to the part authors and everyone else who has contributed to the LDraw
system.
One reason I am enthusiastic about this is that I see quality instructions as
a link between the LDraw community and other LEGO fans. Instructions make
LDraw models accessible to people who are not LDraw users - and the prospect
of documenting MOCs with nice instructions could certainly interest more
builders in LDraw.
Thoughts and comments?

A really good-looking model. I second your thoughts about the value of nice
instructions to go with MOCs. I appreciate your expression of generosity by
doing all that work. You play well!
