Do you know if this is only a transparent plastic sheet or really moulded?
The more I look at the bottom of the part, the more I think it is a transparent sheet of plastic only. The small lip at the top of the arch is supposed to hold the transparent section in place, if moulded this would never slip in there without excessive force. Also how it is fixed at the bottom of the arch, looks like those were pins that were just heated and deformed to fix the plastic sheet...
anybody owns this one?
I see the pins in the photo and yes it looks like they were heated and deformed
I'd buy the part but it will cost a fortune because ive bought duplo parts before and if the part itselt isnt expensive the shipping or other extra costs are.
I'm leaning towards it being a preformed piece of rigid plastic but slid in place then somehow welded down with plastic welding. but thats just a best guess.
You could just give it a generic name in the dat file, so neither "flexable plastic sheet" or "rigid curved panel" for example.
I'll take a look at the prices anyhow incase I get lucky, yellow is not the best color to build buildings IRL with though, in LDCAD you can at least change the color of anything.
