I was re-cruising baseplate.com after meeting Suz in person... it was fun
remembering how I first saw those kits and ideas. (At my mom's office in
Israel, every picture took about an hour to download... :-)

shining armor was done (two chrome headlights)...

simple elements that I can't figure out?

TIA!
