Thanks. Well, when I started building the truck, I knew I wanted to use
upside-down 1x2x1 thin-walls for the front skirt (to represent the thin
panel found in front of the front wheels.) So I knew I needed to "flip"
some pieces. So, as I was playing with other ideas for the truck, I
stumbled across the piece I ended up using for the rear bumper, which also
had to be flipped upside down.
Given that the front and rear both had to be inverted, I figured, why not
make the whole chassis upside down? It ended up being an interesting
learning experience for myself, because I got to explore a lot of different
aspects about the geomerty of Lego that I hadn't gone deeply into before.
It was actually a lot of fun, because I got to think in unconventional ways;
pieces I've used for ages began to look different.

| Hi, I like the Fed-Ex van, but I also was wondering why you did it upside down. Was this just as sort of a challenge to yourself? Or was there some particular detail you felt only worked with upside-down bricks? Bruce (22 years ago, 3-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)
