Truth be told, the real world black version I am looking at right now has
what I think is an Aqua-shark logo!  As far as LDraw goes, when I get really
smart about it I expect I can swap out the primitives that make up the
classic space logo for the ones that would make up three inverted triangles.
But, I have only been doing this since late last week and experimenting with
all of the software. When I am working all of this from the command line,
I'll know what's going on.

Plus, it is from the "Classic Space" contest, so I thought it wasn't so bad
to leave it be. Still, maybe I should mess with it in Photoshop.  I happen
to have some vector versions of the BT1 logo to hand.

I highly recommend viewing the DAT file in LDView.  I have some old Matrox
32 MB video card over here and it still looks great.  I had it spinning
flips very erratically yesterday, but my girlfriend made me stop it because
she thought the little guy might get sick.  As if...!  This IS a BT1 guy,
right!?

P.S. Speaking of "Aqua-whatever," I had worked up a little version of it in
Bryce where the little fellow is preparing a water landing.  I was
unsatisfied with it, so I trashed it -- but the possibilities are endless if
you let yourself run wild.
