Damn. They noticed. After the chrome antenna fiasco, I swore to keep my
mouth shut, and not point out potential part-number mixups.
Actually, I forgot all about that little trivial bit of part-numbering
reality on the obviously two-parts-joined dinghy (maybe it should be
called a launch? Whatever).
Does TLG code the color as some of the digits in the seven-digit number?
Can we skip the color-code, and use the other digits for the LDraw part
number?
If someone has a spare dinghy they don't mind destroying, I'd be
interested in finding out how the parts are joined. I'm assuming they
are welded (or glued) together. As I just sold all my spare dinghies, I
don't have a part to sacrifice for the cause.
BTW, I still feel that the number stamped on the bottom of the dinghy is
more useful than some number in an official parts list, unavailable to
most people.
I'm going to cut this one off, and reply to the actual point of Terry's
message in a separate follow-up.
