(...) It is a starting point but I think 4 wide is just a bit to wide. I think it is possible to do something similar 3 wide using a 1x2 tile with center stud between the 2 thin walls. I think that might be a more resonable scale. I think I might (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.build)

(...) Actually, it was my original intent to make that part nice and rounded as well, but I couldn't find a good way of doing it-- and because of the width and 'tilt-in-edness' of the windshield it made it rather difficult...
