| 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 (...)

| (...) 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)

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 (...)
