I'm rather proud of the iris doors. I don't know if anyone has messed with
these yet, but they are kind of cool. I haven't figured out a way to open all
the slats (petals) at once, but the effect is still there. They aren't very
practical, and the big one takes up a huge amount of space in comparison to the
opening provided.

Very nifty!  I have never seen iris doors done in Lego before, but
that isn't to say nobody's done it.  It's still a great idea and I
like where you are going with it.  I bet if you used Technic parts to
open them instead of hinges, it would be possible to make them all
open at once, and motorized even...

(...) all (...) the (...) Bill, Sounds like a challenge to me. With the current designs I just wanted to see how they would go together. I guess the next progect is to try to make them work better, and take up less space. Greg~ (23 years ago, 7-Oct-01, to lugnet.space)
