(...) I'd put this particular piece in as a wing, and the matching brick as a wedge, but the plate-with-panel doesn't really fit in with the panel elements. So is it better to leave these parts all together where they are, or move some of them to (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.db.inv)

My thoughts on part naming: A lot of LDRAW names seem like first attempts that have since been improved on by others elsewhere (Auczilla for example.) I've thought hard about many odd part names and I agree it's not easy to make a good name. A good (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.db.inv)
