  Re: Modular space station connection system
 
(...) <DAT Snipped> This is a good interface between modules (provided the module shape matches). One suggestion I would make though would be to use the "Brick 1 x 2 with Pin" <part:2458> instead of the technic pieces. My experience is that the pins (...)

  Need more $$ for ldraw.org banner...
 
Hey everybody... I've been working with John Neal and we thought we could get the ldraw.org vinyl banner for $100, but realized that different printing methods wouldn't give us the result we need.
