I have a couple of questions: 1.) What's the easiest way to put minifigs in your scene? Construction from scratch is a pain and I don't know how to modify the shorcuts in MLCad. 2.)

I'm in need of a part. It can be found in almost all of the Life on Mars sets (such as set #7311) as well as the AT-ST. It's the 1 x 2 locking hinge brick with 1 finger on one end and 2 on the other, but has no studs. I'm afraid this is the best (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
