Well, for some reason I couldn't open the file in svg2ldraw at all. (The error message given is "Unsupported path command 'e'. The path will be skipped.")
And in any case, the vectors from the PDF weren't flawless, especially after being unskewed. Some funny artifacts and wiggly lines, and a lot of approximate geometry, so it was worth refining them before importing into img4dat. But an excellent starting point, to be sure!
I got everything cleaned up and aligned, made regular geometric shapes where they ought to be, smoothed all the nodes and corrected the colors to LDraw spec. Should turn out just fine.
