Darats Posted November 9, 2014 Hi all. I'm one of the Lraw models builder of the Digital tool part of the forum. I'm planning to create the Baseplate of the 6988 - Alpha Centauri Outpost (2552px2) to make it available for the Ldraw comunity. Problem is that I don't own the part. I'm sure someone here has this part. Would it be possible for someone to take good pictures of the 5 surfaces (Front, Back, Left, Right and Top)? Then it will be possible for me to recreate the part digitally and share it to the Ldraw community. Hope someone will help me. Many many thanks a lot in advance.

Zerobricks Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) I think this may help? http://rebrickable.com/parts/2552 EDIT: And a printed version (different print though) http://rebrickable.com/parts/2552p05 Edited November 9, 2014 by Zblj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darats Posted November 9, 2014 I'm the one that made the 2552p05 print for ldraw system. I really need pictures taken of the 5 sufaces described in my first post. Maybe I didn't look well, but I can't see any of those in the link you provided. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted November 9, 2014 My bad, you need pics for textures... hmm what about this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/191403602190?item=191403602190&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darats Posted November 9, 2014 Thanks, Problem here is that pictures are quite blurry and it's missing some sides. I've already searched on ebay with no results... That' why I'm posting here, I would need the help of someone tu take the pictures. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted November 9, 2014 If I had I would take pictures... Did you search on brickshelf? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darats Posted November 9, 2014 Yes, no results on brickshelf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deraven Posted November 10, 2014 I have a couple 2552p05 - I can take pics a little later tonight and I'll post links to 'em on flickr, then you can give me feedback on if you need something different. Always happy to contribute to community efforts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darats Posted November 10, 2014 I need 2552px2 (not p05) as shown on the picture over. But that would be awesome! Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deraven Posted November 10, 2014 Sorry, my bad with the copy-and-paste. Yes, I have px2 (the space version of that baseplate). :) Coming up shortly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deraven Posted November 10, 2014 OK, I didn't have time to do a proper photo setup tonight, but hopefully these will be good enough to give you what you need! I got the 5 shots you asked for, plus a few angled shots to help you better see where some of the print wraps from the vertical sides onto the base, etc.. You can click through them in my flickr photostream starting here: https://www.flickr.c.../in/photostream I have a few copies of this part and I tried to use the cleanest/best condition one I had, but if you need any additional info (like wondering if a dot is a chip or actual printing - stuff like that) just let me know and I'll be happy to take a look. Thanks for your LDraw contributions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darats Posted November 10, 2014 That's more than perfect. Many thanks. I'll start tonight to work on the ldraw part. I'll keep you informed when it will be done. I could take some time as it's a huge pattern. Hopefully I will be able to do it before december. Again, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deraven Posted November 10, 2014 Great. My pleasure! I'll follow this thread in case you need anything else down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darats Posted November 13, 2014 Just for information: First side is done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceMan Nathan Posted January 19, 2015 Let me know when you finish it. I will want to switch out for the px2 in my set and moc files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darats Posted January 25, 2015 It's not done yet. Besides, I had a hard drive crash so I can't continu till I receive the new one. These kinds of patterns are very time consuming, I let you know as soon as it's done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darats Posted May 17, 2015 I've found some time to continu the work on this : Here is the current state of it : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
___ Posted May 17, 2015 looks very impressive to me, good work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darats Posted June 9, 2015 Finally done: Part is currently available from the Ldraw Part Tracker: here. It might change a bit during the certification process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umbra-Manis Posted June 9, 2015 Nice work! This makes switching to Ldraw very tempting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
