i'll if it doesnt work(preview doesnt show it)

edit: and it didn't, so i try link now

[Setekh]

The link works perfectly.

That thing's actually really good, both as lego and as a starship. You do it all yourself?

[SanKor]

i used LDraw for it, and i have done the thing from my own LEGO blocks(star wars ep.1 trade federation drone fighter and AT-ST pieces).

so i all i did was just reassemble the model with MLcad and render with povray, so i guess this is pretty simple... (i started doing it with a 3D renderer, but it proved so hard i just dropped the idea for a while and when found LDraw, this was the first thing i did )

and i first tried direct linking instead of putting a link to the image

Nice.
Further proof that MLCad and POVRay are a force to be reckoned with.

btw,

[Grug]

nice.

Good work mate

[Janos]

Nice!

[TopAce]

Great work.
I find the Medusa better.

[Carl]

we aren't gonna start the lego thing up again, are we?

what happened to that old thread? let's bump it, shall we?

[kasperl]

well, i got Petrarch rebuilding the Medusa (lost in a format) with a little construction guide. once it's done, I'm gonna let my little brother loose on it, I'll make pictures.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

And here it is. Step-by-step guide, presented as a series of gifs, with a text file listing the parts need for each step. It should be easy enough to follow, the thing is symmetrical after all.

Hopefully it won't all fall to bits if you try and build it.

Oh ... we even have a step-by-step manual.

[kasperl]

http://nodewar.penguinbomb.com/fscz/kasperl/Medusa/medusa.htm

this is the instruction thingy, in HTML, with low res images. 13 pages A4. these images also have the transperency working.

http://nodewar.penguinbomb.com/fscz/kasperl/Medusa/highmedusa.htm
this is the same thing, but with high res images for those with either the paper to spare or working from the screen. transperency not working here, meaning 255,250,255 backgrounds. might be ugly ifor your red color cartridge. 36 pages.

I'm now trying to produce a Fenris, with limited success. There are 2x2x3 sloping bricks, and that's all very well for the upper half of the central hull, but there aren't any inverted ones, so I can't make the lower half.

EDIT: And I've just recieved word from Kas that the model is complete, and that photos are on their way.

[TopAce]

Produce a Sathanas fleet.

There are 2x2x3 inverted slopes, as well as 1x2x3 inverted slopes. You'll find them in the Castle sets, some of the RoboForce sets and all the basic buckets. I make extensive use of them in turret gun designs.

[kasperl]

but keep in mind, not everyone has every part.

i had to edit the Medusa model to allow 2*4s to be used instead of slopes.

we just happen to have a whole load of 2*4's from a different mold the the Lego one.....

Well they're not in MLCAD.

Bah. Only the one true Brick matters. Electronic representations are pure idolatry.
