Yes I realize that, but I haven't found a way to simulate lumber yet
where my 4 year old can easily "play" with it. She likes cars where
she can remove what they carry and switch them around. So the
bulkhead was both sturdy enough for the play and cool enough to fit my
likes.
Realism is nice (and usually much harder to achieve), but play ability
and look are much more important to me.

Actually I did buy one from you - off of Serious Collector in August
of last year. You must sell too much stuff to remember. So I have
one original and several Larry Hopper copies.

I got mine before you started doing instructions. Are you willing to
give a copy?
