Jeremy,
I would love to get some of this LEGO graph paper. I have used ordinary
graph paper for making a dome and boat hull - but I think my designs
would be easier to build using the LEGO graph paper which I believe
sections each brick cell into three plate cells and of course has the
proper aspect ratio...any chance you could scan a blank sheet of this
paper?
