I think this would be a great idea, I actually thought about mentioning this
myself a couple of times but never got around to formalizing my thoughts. For
myself I have come up with a very simple Street Light design that I like a lot.
I also did some Stoplights although I like Tom's a lot. I also have some
dumpsters that it would be nice to have a few more of.
If I get some time I think I will try and LDraw the bits that I have and if
others have designs they want to present we could have vote or something on
standards for these simple things. Of course I think the ease of building them
should come into play. No sense setting a standard for a streetlamp and we can
only build 4 or 5 of them.
For example my street lamp includes the following:
1 2x2x5? Gray sign post.
1 1x1x4 Gray Antenna
1 1x1 DkGray Round Brick.
2 2x2 DkGray small raidar dishes.
1 1x1 Trans-Clear Round Brick.
The Trans-Clear Round actually isn't that common but a Trans-Yellow substitues
well.
I'll let you know if I get around to CADing these.

| (...) OK I put up CAD drawings of a few things like my Streetlamp. I don't know how everyone feels about standards but I wanted to put up what I had. If others have some designs for items like these let us know. Maybe at our next meeting we can (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

| (...) Tom- I think it's fantastic. I love it, and I think the two expanded scenes placed even near each other on the same layout are going to blow people away. And, like Shaun, I hope you can bring it to BrikWars on the 17th... :D Anyway, in (...) (24 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
