Hi Ben, Your Millennium Falcon was one of my earliest inspirations. You have done some phenominal work, especially in how many different funtions you have packed into it. Do you plan on improving the model in the near future or do you think that (...) (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Does anyone know roughly when the AT-TE will release? Will it be another early release for the christmas season like the ewok attack and whatnot else last year? ~Evan Butzlaff (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Thanks. The links have been fixed. The 800x600 render was the original version. It's been replaced now. I did use the radiosity feature. Great as it is, radiosity will kill rendering time. The 1024x768 took 12 hr. 15 min 8 sec. Probably would have (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.starwars)

That is awesome. It helps to confirm the System Scale AT-AT sighting for a few reasons: - the mini sets seem to be of sets Lego has released in system form - supposedly, the Japanese show had a "mix-up." I don't think they were supposed to show the (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)
