Haven't done a regular part in a while - http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/bb50.dat.
Don't know if admin will rename. the Peeron number is already in use (x574).
Trying to get pics of underside - if anyone has one send a pic to me.

Got a pic, added stiffener. Not sure I'm liking the result. Left as "Needs Work".

Hi Greg,
I got another photo from a member of my LUG showing a detail of middle rib, which confirms that the stiffener is a bit lower than stud4 and plate border.

Stiffeners are normally left out in LDraw parts. Or, at least they were, when I was more active.


Re: Vehicle, Base 6 x 13 - Greg Teft - 2012-02-14

On larger parts where underside may be visible or desirable, I personally prefer the detail.
Before I saw the pics for this one, I admit I wasn't expecting what it really is.


Re: Vehicle, Base 6 x 13 - Greg Teft - 2012-02-14

Thanks again Philo! Lower they go! I was wondering if the difference was negligible or a illusion due to the rounded edges on the stud tubes, I can see in the closeup that the shadow of the tube actually makes it look like the stiffeners are flush


Re: Vehicle, Base 6 x 13 - Greg Teft - 2012-03-07

okay - work distracted me from hobbies again - trying this one again. raised the stiffeners, but they still looked funny til I increased the inside depth to 5 LDU. not standard, but closer to real parts as discussed elsewhere.
