You da man;-)
I have obviously restrained myself from flogging the merits of 8 wide here,
partially due to the fact that I feel my work in that area may be finished:-)
Once, I was a lone voice in the wilderness, but now that more and more folk are
building 8 wide, the merits are becoming self-evident (as seen in your model,
Dave).
Of course you are kidding about your motivation for building 8 wide; you took
measurements, etc, and tried to build the most prototypical model possible-- so of
course you'd end up 8 wide.
And BTW, if your measurements seem to be off a little, remember this: it's the
*figs* which are off. 1 stud = 1.3 feet is about the best ratio I can come up
with.
Welcome to 8 Wide Utopia:-)
