I feel sorry for being too fast.... ;-)
In fact that has been my third instruction I did with LPub and I fear it might
be the last one for quite a while. It is simply too time cosuming to do such an
instruction and additionally I am of the opinion, people should at least put
some own efforts into the work of copieing my creation. So I am always willing
to share a ldr-file, but doing a full instruction is to much work for me and too
easy for the person who takes the profit out of the instruction.....

I enjoyed to test the LPub (which is great!), but now - after doing a simple
instruction with nothing more special than a rotation step, another one with one
substep and a few rotation steps, and now a final one with multiple submodels
and lots of rotation steps, I feel somewhat burnt out (maybe I redo the
BR24-instruction partly, because the rotation steps within the submodels have
not worked proper as meant).

Instead I did some new attempts in full sceneries under LDraw and POV Ray. And I
am working on some additional (real brick built!) houses for our Berlin
1000Steine-Land show. I whished my day had more than 48 hours!

Leg Godt!

It was interesting to compare the way you split it into submodels with the way I
did it. One of the reasons it took me so long (well actually I never fiished it
because I got stuck) was I wasn't sure exactly what order you would put it
together in with real bricks.
I agree with you that creating instructions is very time consuming, it is easy
to create an LDraw model with all the bit in the right place, but getting them
in the right order, choosing where to put the steps and getting the setting
right in LPub take about three times as long!
I've seen you scene renders on Brickshelf, they are looking good.
