Thanks for the feedback Chris.  I'd be interested to see scans of the bricks
that you described.  If you could either email them to me directly or send
me a link, then I'll take a look and update my info as appropriate.

I have a load of stuff (slopes mostly) to rephotograph with my new macro
capable camera, so hope to add similar levels of detail for those shortly.
If there is a particularly hot topic (ie 2x2 round brick), then I would be
willing to document and photograph the variations found by the group and put
them online in a similar format.

Cheers
SteveScott

Also, re the recent discussion about the Weetabix sets, I have put up a
boxshot and instruction scans from the house set in case anyone wants to
have a look.  Use the link above and select "rare sets" from the menu on • the
left.

If you've any spare time left, have a close look at the studs on your • 45deg
inverted slope bricks :)

Very impressed with the detail you have gone into on the slope bricks. We • could
do with more of this kind of information for other parts - see the thread • at
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/org/ldraw/?n=1639, regarding the 2x2 round
brick, which has at least 5 versions.

The 2x2 45deg inverted slope _does_ exist with the coarse stipple. I have • not
checked all my copies of this part, but of the two I found quickly, both • have
a
round pillar in the underside well, but are different in other respects.

Version A (red) : birthmark on end of underside pillar, thick-walled • tubes
Version B (white) : birthmark on one stud, thinish walled tubes (not as • thin
as
the modern version), no gap between hollow studs and side walls.

If you want some help with this project (in the form of scans of these • parts
or
a search of my spares), email me and I'll see what I can do.

Copied and moved to lugnet.cad, as this is where these discussions seem • to
congregate.
