| | | | | | Mark, I'm really pleased to see this. I loved the Spiffcraft the first time you posted it (without instructions). I'm wondering if you could post the large JPG files all zipped up into one instruction packet for easy downloading? Paul Ferguson (...) (24 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

| | | | | | That would be rather difficult to do, Paul. I don't have enough space on my webserver, and Brickshelf auto-unzips stuff that you upload, so I suppose you'll just have to download them one-at-a-time. Sorry for the inconvenience. ~Mark "Muffin Head" (...) (24 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

| | | | | | If someone would like to render the Spiffcraft in LCAD and credit me, that would be just fine. BTW, do it up with one o' them new smoked canopies like on the Life on Mars rover thingy (too lazy to look up set number) I plan to replace my canopy with (...)

| | | | | | | | (...) Not yet. There are at least three different unofficial versions (hmm, maybe 4 -- I think I posted two different files). Someone should finish that thing up. Steve (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

| | | | | | | (...) HOORAY! Actually, if you could change the dome hinge to red, that would be great. I finally got my hands on a red hinge this weekend (Thanks, Wayne!) so it all matches now. :^) Thanks for the credit! ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

As any other LegoCAD-er will be able to tell you, the height of the Lego brick is different than the width of the Lego brick. Using the (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | | (...) I beg to differ :) The smallest monolith possible in LEGO is 1x4x9. You just have to orient it differently. Make it 9 studs long, 1 stud wide, and 3 bricks and 1 tile tall. Then stand it on the short end. --Bram (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.space)

Yes, your math works... ;-) *However*, the "real" monolith was "immoveable, fused to the bedrock on which it rested" (or words to that effect; it's been awhile), and was perfectly smooth.

| | | | | | (...) I measured the monolith I made (back when I made it a year ago), and it's within 1mm of the correct height for the width and depth, since I used smooth plates at the top. I considered that to be close enough. But yes, I took the dimensions (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.space)
