Hi Gary,
not all of us can "remember" facts about 1957-1973, but I digress
(hey.. my first Lego memory was in 1976 when I built a prairie. You know, the
thing that boats tie up to on a lake. I wanted to put a little house on it but I
really never finished the prairie, or made the boats. Kids.)
Anyway, I totally forgot about 4-high doors. But, thinking about you, I dug out
those 2 red 3-high doors and used them for windows alongside a 1978-size 1x4x3
window frame. (I'm a minifig scale kinda builder.) I've come to realize that the
1x4x3 system needs a half-width window frame with one shutter. And that with all
the 1x4x3 clear thin walls in bulk, their halves are scarce.
After using the 1x2x3 doors as half-windows, I decided to try the 1x3x4 door
frame as a shop window, alongside a 1x4x5 door. It's supposed to be a display
window. It didn't look good so I went back to using two 1x2x2 windows stacked.
That doesn't look terrific either.
I try to accomodate to minifig town parts where windows are WIDE, but the real
world's not like that and is full of tall narrow windows. ARGH.
-Erik
