Sorry about the picture quality. I meant to address that on my original post.
It's what happens when you use a $40 digital camera :/
Hopefully I can borrow the office camera by the weekend to get better shots. I
was just in a hurry to get something up for folks to see. I'm not one who is
usually first in things, particularly Lego, so I kinda jumped at the chance,
however flawed. :)
I was really impressed when I saw the 3CS announcement. The simplicity is
excellent. Then I had an "oh, crud" moment as I realized that a) my own wall
system didn't comply (and couldn't easily); and b) it relied on the one thing I
lack, baseplates. But I was still pleased that a standard had been presented,
and since I doubt that I'll ever get to any Lego gathering the "loss" for me was
pretty minimal.
Only after mulling over it for a bit did it dawn on me that at least my Corner
Gate could be modified with add-ons. Then I got really excited (giddy, even) as
I worked at it, and was very pleased with the result. Maybe I should look into
some of those "gatherings" that I hear about after all!
Thanks for the feedback. With better pictures more will be apparent. Here's
hoping.
Alan
