Top marks Nicholas! No I didn't know this, but suddenly one of my heretical
pursuits is considerably less heretical. Admittedly I don't tend to cut up
roadplates (haven't got enough of those), I cut up grey baseplates to make
ship decks, but its the principle, is it not :-)
This also explains one of the reasons why my attempts at town planning (when
I was a boy) never seemed to match Lego's chaotic realism.....
