Thanks James!  The angle on the front has bothered me for a while.  It's
too
shallow to be represented by the 45 degree slopes, but I am happy with
my current solution.  When I rebuild these eight wide in a few months I
am
going to try to use the three deep slopes and see how that looks.

I have actually just build a matching set (three actually) of SD-45s.
Hopefully I can get some good pics of mine this weekend to share.

Wow- thre SD-45's... I've been thinking about doing an SD-45 but I am
lacking brown bricks right now(gotta get the MTT :)  Can't wait to see
the pics.  My next project is going to be a SW7 or SW9 switcher, if I
can
gather the bricks...
