Hi All,
Here is the beginning of a studless brick wall study I just started. I have more
floors to build and details to work out, but you get the idea...
Build On!

...... Impressive..... For a second I thought this was a huge model to get such
beautiful brick work (ie: 4x2 with tiles on top for each brick), then I realized
how you did it, and was even more impressed. What more can I say but wow.
It’s a fantastic study, and hopefully it extends to a complete MOC
Now to find me a LOT of 2x1’s ;)

And dalek (5-stud) bricks, and technic 1x1 one-hole bricks, too, one presumes...
It’s very neat, what with half-plate spacing everywhere, but you’d have to be
very carefully moving it if you didn’t want to have to re-set loads of tiles! I
have wondered before if there’s a more rigid way to do this at this scale...

Hello all and thanks a lot for all of your wonderful comments! I truly do
appreciate it.
OK, here are the details. For the actual brick wall part I only used multiples
of four different pieces; a 1x1 gray five-studded brick, a 1x1 gray technic
brick, a 1x1 red tile and a 1x2 red tile. That’s it. For a simple peek at the
technique I used (someone else figured it out and posted this)
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1391994. In my building there
are two 1x1 gray 3-studded bricks to the top right of the arch to continue the
brick pattern.
Here’s the back of my building:
I used regular old red tiles. It must look darker due to the lighting
(unintentional). I did want to do it in dark red, but I only have dark red
1x2s. Anyway, as far as scale goes, it is of no particular scale. This technique
really works best with wall in lengths that are multiples of 10 to maintain the
ability to “wrap corners” neatly. To make a 20-stud-long wall, it is necessary
to add a column of 1x1 technic bricks to maintain the pattern. So really, this
technique is somewhat limiting!
Believe it or not, this type of wall is rather sturdy. The interlocking 1x1
bricks make sure of that. I will also add tons of technic 1x2 bricks with two
holes on the backside to ensure rigidity and to make the final wall two studs
thick. The brick tiles do move a little if handled poorly, but not that much
overall. It would be a great effect to age parts of larger walls instead of
doing entire walls or buildings this way.
I plan on adding at least another floor, hopefully two, to complete this MOC in
the near future...
Build On!

Thank you for the greater detail, One query thou, did you consider using tiles
under the clear 1x2 bricks in the windows to hide the studs within the panes of
glass, or was it to unstable ?
Otherwise, gathering from the reaction from everyone here, The bar has been
spectacualary (sp) raised again. Looking forward to the finish MOC

Freaking amazing, this is the coolest thing I’ve seen since Nick at Night
started re-running Murder She Wrote. Yes, I know it is outrageous to say, but
this wall is sexier than Angela Landsbury.

Hi Jonathan,
I saw your pics on Brickshelf before you posted here on Lugnet,
and was immediately catched by the slick look of it.
It's very, very nice indeed.
I haven't still found out what building technic you use.
I thought of technic bricks with pins,
but that doesn't do the job (not for now, not with me, any way :-)
Can you enlighten us all with your insights,
or do you want to wait until your whole street block is finished?
Keep on building!

Yes, it's a very effective and impressive wall technique. I too was curious how
it was done. Then I found this on brickshelf.

Hello Allister,
I've found it as well, but thanks for pointing it out!
Can't be an accident that it shows up right now:
inspiration is tickled everywhere, I suppose.
The only way to work 'around the corner' is - i think -
when you use the combination of technic bricks (1x1)
and the modified brick 1x1 with studs on 4 sides.
My first attempt that worked fine (only the front of the wall)
was a little less complicated than the solution marakoeschtra
(showed in your link: bw-1 and bw-2) has come up with.
I stacked headlight bricks and then covered them with
modified tiles with one stud. On these came the last tiles.
It's the same effect, but you use more bricks (the modified tiles).
I will definitely use this building technic showed by cre8ivejuan
(=Jonathan Eric Hunter) inone of my own MOCS.
It's so nice :-)!!
Best regards and play on!
Daan Bargerbos

I agree that the only way to get around the corner is to use 1x1 technic bricks
with the modified 1x1 brick but how do you then match the height of the studs?
I cheated and used a half height tyco plate under the headlight bricks but it
just seems "wrong" to use non lego parts

Hi David,
it took me a while to understand the basic principle.
What I found I've uploaded on Brickshelf.

Yes, that is one way of doing it. But I don't have that kind of quantity of
those parts. I was thinking of using this technique for the walls
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1391668 and then using the
technic bricks and 5 stud bricks for the corners but I couldn't figure out how
to marry the two techniques without resorting to non-lego parts. (Sure would be
nice if Lego made half height bricks)

Simply fantastic. I’d love to hear how it was done. It looks as if you used
dark red, and if so: kudos! IMO a realistic building method like this would be
done a dis-service if done with brighter colors.
Also, I love the windows. I was very frustrated about a year ago with the
available window options with TLG and came up with a very similar method of
creating window panes as well.
Looking forward to your completed project and hopefully a tutorial or insight
into the building method.
Best,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
This is awesome, very realistic. I’m not sure how you’ve done, so enlighten us
when you get a chance.
I can’t wait to see the finished building.
Thanks,

I’ll definitely be using this technique. I also like how you modelled the street

Hello Jonathan,
now so many people are expressing there amazement
(and who hasn't yet?! it's so wonderful what you've made!),
it's almost time for a kind of competition:
who can make a wall as beatifull as yours?
After many tries (and as many failures),
I've come close (I think), but I'm still puzzled
how you can 'work around the corner':
my solution only makes way for the front wall,
and leaves a gap like a 1x2x5 brick on the edges/corners
of the building.
So, still puzzling on...
Best regards,
keep on playing!

Simply incredible. I daresay bricklink supplies of 5 stud bricks and 1x1 technic
bricks will dwindle in the near future.

Man, oh man. This is really what it’s all about. What a cool style. Its nice to
know that there are still lugnetters who are actually building and not spending
all day in front of their computer screens stroking their intellect.
The aspect here that really drove me to comment is the scale of this building.
Its basically the same scale that I’ve been using to construct buildings for the
belville figures.
Admittedly, detail is not my strong suit. Neither is it grand-scale projects
like you master builders are accustomed to. My area of focus with Lego of late
has been trying to illustrate to tlg that belville currently sucks, but could be
totally awesome if they followed the same aesthetic guidlines as the rest of the
system stuff.
But I digress.
I should also say that its’ surprising to me that the setting of this model
seems so “New York streetcorner”. Aren’t you in southern california? Where did
the inspiration for this model (aside from tinkering with the brickwall
methodology) come from?
Thanks again for sharing,
D
