Thanks John. Coming from the champion of 8 wide, this means a lot to me.
Yeah, I used lots of three long plates in this model! I needed an odd
number of studs to get the nose right - the rounded headlight thing. This
is the main reason I went to 7 studs. I don't think I'll be doing a lot of
7 wide, since it is such a sink for the 1x2 single stud offset plates. But
I do like the effect it gave me. It also (in my opinion) let me get the
more rounded look on the roof that I wanted.
And thanks for the URL. I'll check it out soon!
