the side walls also extend below the lower floor. Because they do so just as far
as the front wall reaches downwards, at first glance there seems to be no skirt
extension.
But I agree: when you're not able to make it look right in LEGO, you should not
do it. (would require some type of snot construction, don't you think, Larry?

Oh, and thank you for your generous compliment. I've also learned a lot from all
you custom set designers.
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
