(...) I'm fairly sure the Hydronauts weren't available in Australia. If they were there aren't any now, I had to get my 6199 off ebay. You could find a use for the trans-green underwater somewhere ? (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)
 
  Re: More detail pictures of my condominium
 
Yes - Those parts are almost impossible to get nowdays. I remember me thinking how "sissy" the Paradisa sets were when they were out. Only later, after seeing some people's MOCS using these windows did I realize how cool they were! There is a really (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)
 
  MLCAD/L3P/POVRAY Camera Tricks (was: re: More detail pictures of my condominium)
 
Thanks Terry K., who deals with the Model of the Month at www.ldraw.org gave me this advice. I'll paraphrase just in case he objects to any of his specific wording. In MLCAD, there is a "part" called POV-RAY (under Other Parts\P). Place 2 of these. (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.cad)

Wow. Very nice. If someone gave you some tricks for positioning the camera, I'd LOVE to hear them! :-) Please point me at them, or post them, if you can! -Andy Lynch ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Hamilton" <bhamilto1@home.com> (...)

  Re: More detail pictures of my condominium
 
(...) The curved 1 x 4 x 6 glass panels are great pieces. If they were easily available, I would concentrate more on interiors, because they are visible. MOC builders now have to battle 'collectors' of sets for a few key architectural pieces. pete.w (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

Someone let me in on a MLCad/POVRay trick to position the camera much more accurately so I posted some close up shots of my condo building. They are on the bottom of this page: (URL) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

As we have all seen, town is gone. And what a miserable way it went. Everything began in 1997, when a few sets that AFOLs called Town Jr. appeared in the new Lego line up The FOLs said quietly... "Oh this is new, we hate it. Next year will be (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.town)
