Hmm... How best to describe it? The dimensions I gave are wrong for starters,
sorry. (typing REALLY fast to try to recover from a momentary net outage... I
was wireless and it stopped working and Calum and his intrepid crew switched me
over as fast as they could to wired but there was still a time gap)
Take an ordinary 1x2 45 degree slope. (which is arguably a 1x1 brick with a
prism on the side if you think about it) Now make it only 2 plates high instead
of 3... Change the 1x1 brick to 2 1x1 plates, and lowerg the slope of the prizm
a bit to compensate. NOW (and this is the big change and the reason I said
"half".... subtract the 2 1x1 plates worth of material so that the footprint is
only 1x1 instead of 1x2. KEEP the prism but lose the flat part. It's JUST the
slope part, no studs at all.
It MAY be the same slope as a 45, I'm not sure.
The part (paired) is holding the number boards above the cab window.
Remember this is a prototype!!!! everything is subject to change, including the
automotive spray paint on the bricks to get them to look dark green.
