I've just uploaded several DAT files to dat.models. They are mostly from my childhood,
just before the darkages time,
when I was 12-13 years old (1982-1984). They all computerized versions of physical
models(1) and my collection was a
very limited one(2) at the time that I built those, so sorry about stupid looking color
schemes and absurd use of
pieces.

The models are generally consists of 500-1500 pieces. I suggest using newly introduced
renderer, L3Lab, since and its
rendering speed and on the fly rotation are just like magic..:-)

Here are the models:

* Siat 223 Flamingo, my first attempt to built something real and actually exist. Highly
compressed though. From 1982,
IIRC (untouched).

* Sail Ship, built after inspiration from a 1979 catalog picture of famous USS
Constellation, from 1983, IIRC.
(untouched).

* Agricultural Amphibian Aircraft, I don't think such a configuration exists, but I was
not an aeronautical engineer at
that times, from 1984 (untouched).

* F4E Phantom, what a color scheme, from 1984 (very slightly revised in 1998).

* Attack Helicopter, from 1984 (widely revised in 1998).

* Oil Tanker, from 1983, IIRC (revised in 1998)

* Colonial Viper, my first MOC, completely built after the "awakening", from 1998

* Titanic (I know, I know..:-), inspired of course from the movie, second post "awakening"
MOC, from 1998.

* Space Shuttle, my first scale model and third MOC after "awakening", from 1999.

I hope you like them..:-)


(1) They really built once. The predarkage ones were rebuilt after wake up, by using 2D
instructions prepared by hand
drawing (yeeess..:-), I have hand drawn instructions for many models that I built during
my childhood), then slightly
revised in some cases, and computer versions of 3D instructions have been built by using
LeoCAD.

(2) ~2000 pieces consisting of 033, 30, 107, 6624, 6627, 6654, 6367, 8841, 8845 and 8860 +
several extras from here or
there. It is a ~40000 pieces one right now, still growing, but I can't feel myself as
creative as these "too less lego"
Lego times of my childhood..:-(
