That was the fun part when I discovered this - one half assembles with coordinate motion, and the other in serial order - but they can both be rotated and still assemble to make the same shape!STPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325321154517773060.post-13754819385786837712012-06-19T23:19:00.594+01:002012-06-19T23:19:00.594+01:00I ALWAYS listen to Chris!!!
