History with LDraw:

I had discovered LDRAW around late 2002 and immediately fell addicted to it for the simplicity and elegance of its principle. It allowed to me to revive long lost child memories of LEGO, and I immediately started re-building many of my favourite sets. At that time, I was using L3Lab and MLCad to create 3D scenes, which I then converted to POVRay format using L3P. I quickly discovered that still many parts were missing and found fun in creating them, thus quickly became a parts author. As a child I had loved the 12V Trains and thus found it necessary to create the track parts for that system, which were missing at that time:

The most complicated part of that set was the the train point part 73696c04.dat, which still needs improvement. At the time of creating it, Philo's fabulous LDRAW authoring tools didn't exist yet. At the time of writing this, I've created some 400+ parts now. My favourite LEGO themes are the 12V trains, Fabuland and Technic.
