(...) Thanks! (...) Yeah, it's a pretty neat piece. Jeff Van Winden used it in his space ship shown at BrickFest last year. Unfortunately, it's upside down! :) There's a lot of bracketing behind the wall to attach it upsidedown without a seam. Even (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)
