Hi everybody,
I made my own low slope inside corner by carrefully
cutting 2 4X3 low slope diagonally, starting at the top
right corner, then the right stud (in the middle) going
down and finished 8 mm from the bottom left side (1 brick
large). For the other one, it's the same except it's left to
right. I used A.B.S. plumbing glue and I got a pretty nice result.
Here a little exemple: (Excuse it, pretty tough to do it with text
editor)

Is this a sacrilege to modify the Lego brick?
This could be a interrestig debate!
Stephane...
"I did'nt play with lego, I express my creativity" Yeah right!

| Wow, Stephane, can I send you some 4x3 bricks to customize? I could have used 12 of those in red in my new Cathedral. You could start a LEGO Customizing Service! Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
