Yes, I agree, I should have listened to Chris Smith when he was encouraging me to learn how. Plus, I know Tobbe said he already did the head, but I'm not sure when he'll finish. If anyone wants to make LDRAW / MLCAD etc... Please be my guest! I (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)

Yet another 10c from me ... A lot of the time I don't think we really need detailed building instructions. For many models, a few good photos from all angles of the finished product and a few detailed photos of "tricky bits" and "significant (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jul-02, to lugnet.inst)
