I say it is a part that allows the square tower to be at a 45º angel to the walls. If you look at all the houses they are square to the camera where the tower is not. You can not see the part but its there  ;)
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Hmm, maybe I am completely wrong, but I did not recognize the hat the lady at the far left side of the ad wears on her head. It looks like some kind of medieval white helmet  :lol:. But perhaps I am mistaken.

Besides the hat this lady is also wearing a collar which seems to be closed at the front, I only remember the blue collar which was open at the front from the 3374 or the red collar which can be seen in the 5 klicky box '3392'.

On closer inspection, the collar could be open, but the white (I assume it's white) hat is a mystery to me. The ad is from 1977.

I think I would want to see the original with out the loss of resolution for that fine of a detail  :lens:

Any time you feel like sharing these types of images please do as some of them are quite impressive and inspirational

Thanks again

OOOOh I though you meant a steck part!  :lol: But maybe you are right, I haven't seen that hat.


@ras... Since I bought my first steck castle (3 months ago  :lol:) I have been thinking a 45° steck conector would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is something the PCC should present to Geobra!!!! That way we would be able to build a star like mediaval city to say the least!!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Yes I could use quite a few of them. I think we would need a few other parts to go with it to be totally functional. It would look great to have a 45º
