| Yee-haw. That thar is one purdy piece of PCS, pardner. Kudos on the swoosh-factor. It's just so slick! As for the interior, I'll let you know what i think when I figure out what's going on (it couldn't be SNOT cabinetry...?) The hood ornament and (...)

| Dang! You beat me - I'm working on a similar kind of window... (...) I'm using transclear 1x1 and 1x2 for the glasses, with studs out to make them look like crown glass, and I use two plates stacked on each other to improve the overall stability of (...)

| (...) Thanks :) Hum, I'm sure there is still a lot of building techniques. I made a presentation at BricMania about one, ToPLeSs, and I have to finish the traduction in english to post it. (...) That was an idea from Didier. It was just a fake. But (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) Thanks :) Well, it depends maybe of our vision of what is SNIR. The 1x1 parts are not adjacent but in diagonal. And the alignment of the turned parts creates an offset. So we obtain a lign of studs, not in the standard way but in diagonal. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, FTX)

However I would say that they have ended up in a (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Hi Holger. Thanks for showing interest on JoTaALM. In a first attempt, the idea was to make an hoax just for fun, as the one I made when I was studying chemistry at university (not LEGO related). Of course volume I doesn't exist. I can't tell (...)

I love that kind of window, there is a good chance to find it in a new (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) Well, to be picky, it's not *exactly* the same thickness. A tile is 0.4 "stud-widths" thick, but the distance between 2 such windows is about 0.414 (square-root of 2 minus 1) stud-widths. Over a larger area you would start to notice the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, FTX)
