A friend of mine in Germany sent me 3 red 2x4 bricks and a window from the
Minitalia line. The bricks look sort of like regular LEGO (with different studs),
but the window really stunned me. It was the 1x6x3 size (the largest of the
classic LEGO sizes), but had 13 window panes, instead of 1. It had one large
window in the middle, with 6 smaller windows one each side (sort of a "4 over 4"
type early American window, but there are only 6 and not 8 panes on each side), and
didn't contain glass (upon closer inspection, I didn't see any old glue or holes to
handle clear plastic glass). I am going to use this unique window in one of my
LEGO buildings. The window looks like something out of a Norman Rockwell
painting. I would love to get more of these windows, and any other interesting
Minitalia type windows.
