Hi,
I tried to build one of these and had some difficulties. Maybe you can clarify
them for me.
It seems that the idea is not to leave 2 studs on every side, but only on the
sides that are going to have facades.
If I understand the AKOS system, the supports are recessed from the facade in a
way that a 16x32 module has 1 row left over in the back. This means that the
facades are able to have 1x4 beams in back with exactly 1 hole in line with a
support.
Why is your long support 26 studs long?
Could you summarize the setbacks (and lengths) of each combination of supports
in 16x16 and 16x32 with or without a firewall/facade on the short end?
Other thought-questions:
Wouldn’t it be more sensible to have a system where the interior structure had
the same center across different configurations and 2 studs open on all sides?
Or would that make it too awkward to attach facades?
Also, where did you get lots of 1x10 beams? PaB? I made a lot of substitutes
with 1x2 brick with Technic peg, plus 1x4 beams, sandwiched between 1x plates.
You might want to document substitutes and describe which holes are essential.
Finally
I’m intrigued by this standard (more than what has gone before) as a help to
integrate separate, small MOCs. “Works together with other sets” being part of
the Lego way. Thanks for sharing this concept!
