(...) Take 4 of them and use them in the middle of 4 (24 x 24 w 1/4 circle cutout) green base bricks from 5987, or that's what I'm planning. (...) Must say I wasn't expecting orange base bricks in Belville, but Arctic did use many orange elements (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.belville)
