(...) Yes indeed, that's a super-cool part. It's already in the clone library but not yet released. I'll have to check again when I get home, but your version seems more concise than mine! By the way--if you'd care to model any other Oxford bits, (...) (22 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) That's the big question. The brands have enough overlap of distinctive elements to make me think that, at the very least, the brands have access to the same molds. Blok-Tek (aka Brik-o, I believe) also shows some of the same parts. In (...) (22 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Here you go: (URL) parts all appeared in the 15000 Tank set, along with a sort of cloverleaf turntable top, a 2x2 plate corner, and several 6x8 plates. The latter two are already modelled, but I'm still polishing off the turntable. There are (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I should have shown the underside of the cover, since it has three studs like a 2x4 plate. The brick in the front left corner is a '2x2 slope 45 inverted' with four grooves and a "stepped" body style. This already appears in the clone library (...)
