(...) Thanks! It is good to hear that it resembles a drill in the real world, since it was a collection of features from quite a few. The real danger when building this model in my opinion was that it would end up looking like a ray gun or (...) (22 years ago, 21-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)

(...) I had a lot longer to tweak the settings though! (...) It is one of those arty things, the clouds and ground, as they were actually taken from a photo of the real truck. The clouds were added post render as a layer behind the truck, and the (...) (22 years ago, 21-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)

(...) Wow. I don't think I'll try anything too ambitious with my creaky old Powerbook then! (180Mhz, 48MB, and the faster of my computers) Joking aside, those renders are quite superb Jen.

Hi Jennifer, Sorry for not having answered your private note earlier - I'm on very limited time these days. These renderings look ... simply perfect!. I'll also state the obvious: your drill image looks loads better than my drill image! Thanks for (...) (22 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)

(...) Maybe you should try LDraw Boxer (see: (URL) ) which is a real nifty application that replaces bricks with "hidden" studs for boxes sans studs. Saves a lot of parsing, especially on level 3!

(...) It is a mains powered drill :-) I actually made a battery pack for it, but I think it took away from the archetypal drill appearance, so I didn't use it. It is funny how these things end up, I had 3 types of drills as inspiration for the model (...) (22 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)
