(...) An interesting thought... variables would be opaque vs translucent ABS (TLC appears to use different molds, so there may be differences in thickness), parts per baggie, etc. Also, raw volumetric calculations might give a hint to what size box (...)

(...) Hmm... what would it take? Assume that ABS plastic's volume relates directly to its weight-- and then all you need to do is calculate volume using Ldraw parts. So weigh something like a 2x10, a 2x4, a 1x1, and a few odds and ends... then check (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)

(...) I have all these parts except (maybe) the side plume. I'll weigh them next time I know no one is going to be in the lab.

Very cool. I've often thought that the small plume that attaches to a knight's helmet might be the lightest element. Any chance you could weigh one of those? - Cary "Christopher Tracey" <ctracey@enviroweb.org> wrote in message (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)
