I have read this a number of times, printed it, read it in the bus.
I am sorry, I cannot follow this.
Appearantly, you have used it in your Mediterranean windmill. Are there any
chances, that you can provide _any_ picture of this?
Or someone, who understand this, might come with an idea, what this is?
Currently I am playing around with plates, I seem to have a solution, (thanks
guys!), and I am playing with the Techinc inside.
I have a 6x8 "plate", with is only 2 wide in the top. I still dont know how to
cover the top (4.8 studs wide), but I will. Currently the problem is the Techinc
to support it, I do not have much room there... well, this is fun!
