xenologer Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I dunno... there something wrong with the brick's hes using, see the wierd jaggy lines around all their edges? like the mould went bad or somthing :-D oh wait, they arent real bricks I'm never impressed with Cad models, sure I do it on occasion myself, but only for prototyping and online PaB orders. With Cad the challenge of finding rare colors for bricks is just gone. And you can never be sure a Cad model actually works without falling apart or weak spots in real life... And seeing a Gigantic model in Cad also does not impress as much as a Gigantic real model, cause heck in reality its using 0 pieces. Quote

Cads aren't soposed to impress,but give you an idea of what your final project will look like when completed,or lets you know what parts would be involved in a build. I haven't used cad designs for any of my mocs, but have been thinking about it for some large upcoming projects.(though i'm sure it would be much more fun hands on). Quote

It's mostly used for MOCing instead of IRL for those who do not have enough or any real Lego bricks. -l2k- Quote

No Actullay. I know plenty of people that using cad as "blue prints" so to speak for there upcoming prodjects. they then buy the parts they need off bricklink to complete there models. There are plenty of examples cad and then the actual model on brickshelf. Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 That's one of the best cars I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing! Quote
oo7 Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 CAD never impresses me the least bit, you'd think it would just a little.......but no. :-( However, that windshield piece is interesting, what is that 12 long monster? Quote
