Snippage (...) I remember seeing this when it first came out (very cool, by the way) and when I was playing around with the NBA container idea I started with the idea of using the 8x8x16 plates as sides as well. The problem was that with the sides (...) (22 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I hadn't noticed that on the 8x16's but I used 1x8 and 1x6 plates on the 8x8's to make attaching to the 8x8 field piece workable. I don't think a 1-plate high threshhold will annoy the moonbase denizens much : ) I'll try that on the 8x16's too. The (...) (22 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.space)
