The studs on the box are hollow, so he probably just shifted some 1x4 tiles over half a stud, or used a 1x6 or 1x8 tile to link the two sides together. For that matter, it would be just as (...)

It's five long, so you get half a stud offset flush with your six-wide wall. Hide the rounded ends by resting them (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.space)
