Okay, great confusion here. . .
When assembling the two larger (6265 and 6260) of my four Pirate sets, I was
suprised to see that TLC had used the same pattern on two 16x16 baseplates, but
placed it differently. One basplate has the pattern almost a full stud, plus
the interstud space, closer to the edge in one direction, and a half-stud
closer to the edge in another direction relative to the my other baseplate.
This seemed to me odd, since there was no great gain by the move and the sets
were produced cocurrently. At the same time, the possibility of simple error
seems remote, since the pattern (although uncomplicated) crosses studs and has
crisp edges---both of which seem incompatible with some "random" spraying
process that would permit such a large offset.
But, looking at the instructions,
http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6260/6260-02.html
http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6265/6265-02.html
the baseplates pictured do not match closely each other *or* the two baseplates
I have.
So, my question is, are there really two (or more) patterns? If so, which is
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/3867p01.dat
and do the patterns have distinct .piratical names? Should the above part be
renamed to indicate that it is one of two similar parts?
Thanks,
TWS Garrison

| I decided to try to create a patterned piece that was missing for ldraw, so here is the island baseplate seen in a couple of Pirate sets. This is my first try at making a part, so let me know if I'm doing something terribly wrong. Andy 0 Baseplate (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
