I sat here shaking my head, that is so adorable.  It looks so good!

A bit of an off-topic question for you, what kind of software package did
you use to generate those instructions?  They look fantastic!

Hi Iain,

I use the famous MLCAD / LPub  (all links on ldraw website :
http://www.ldraw.org) to generate the pictures.
Then I use Adobe PhotoShop (an old limited edition is sufficient) to create
layout. (I like very much to use layers).

I started to use these softwares two years ago and learned a lot when I bought
both "Virtual LEGO" and "LEGO software power tools" books.

The main diffence beetween the first BI I created
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1126957 and the last one is
mainly the use of MegaPov instead of POV (edges enhanced).

Hi Didier,
  I wanted to compliment you on your building instructions.  Very nice.

  Did you want the fork on the forklift to be at the top, instead of the bottom?

  If so, you can probably open the forklift part you used with MLCad.  It is in
LDRAW/PARTS.  There is a strong probability that the rails are one part and the
fork another.  You could use them as two separate parts when assembling your
model in MLCad, instead of the original single part you used.

  Drop me a note if you want some help.
