Actually, none of my samurai use the black swords, they're all grey or
green, so nobody's unarmed :)

The upside down part of the lower trim (the wheel arches and the part right
below the doors) is a one plate offset from the rest of the vehicle. The
main chassis is 14 studs wide, and those parts stick out 1 plate to the
side. I still am not really sure how Bram accomplished this, but it uses a
couple of headlight bricks with a couple of plates between them. It's
strange, but it works well. A half stud would've been a little too much
offset, so that's why we chose to do it that way.
