Linmix once said to me that he couldn’t find a LDraw model of the
Spybotics... so I decided to cope with
that beast.
Here is the prevue:
The LDraw files are available from
LDraw Parts
Tracker. Don’t forget all the subfiles!
Some LDrawers may wonder how I created the smooth front cover shape. I started
with a few hires 1-4edges, inlined them and modified their horizontal alignment
with MLCad:
Then I created stripes of polygons between each pairs of lines using
Coverer tool.
Missing conditional lines between the stripes were created using Lee Gaiteri’s
Edger to obtain the nice smooth
shape (using LDView “smooth curves” option).
Enjoy,
Philo

That is some seriously talented work! Can I ask how long it took you to create
it?

Hard to tell... I worked on it on and off during 15 days. I would say about 10
hours.

Philo,
Congratulations! This is a fantastic part! LDraw sure has come a long way
since its humble beginnings, and the ground breaking work by James.
