Hi,

The recent MOC “The rabbit” by Felix Greco has pointed out a technique allowing bricks to be stacked upside down (SNOT 180).

This SNOT180 can’t be used for plates. But it exist a tehnique allowing plates SNOT 180, using only levers. The link is not so tight but can be improved by adding more levers :



The fact is I am NOT the founder of this technique.

I’m pretty sure I’ve read about it on Lugnet at least more than one year ago but I’m not able to find the original thread. I’d really enjoy to read more about it.

This technique is pretty unknown and I know it may be useful to some people, that’s also why I wish to highlight it thru this post.


Jouez bien,

Didier

I think a japanese fellow posted pictures on brickshelf of that technique a while back. I tried it, but the connection wasn’t robust enough for my application.

I did come up with another technique though which worked for me. I wedged pieces of pneumatic hose between the plates around the edges. It sticks them together pretty well.

thak you for this clue. Adrian on Unique Brique Technique blog finally has linked to Kerouac BS gallery. (thanks also to Phoenix from Classic-Space forum)1

Kerouac seems to be one of these pretty talented but unknown Japanese AFOLs. His gallery has great stuffs.

Peppermint pig from Classic-castle forum used this technic to come with a platform.

And it seems plates linked using this technique will gappe after a while.

Thank you et jouez bien

1 I have never claimed credit for this technique. There are, sometimes, some misunderstandings because of partial quotes and uncomplete readings of original document. For instance I’m credited for a slope-brick-striping-technique which is not mine but from Xavier Viallefont, enhanced by various people, noticeably Lenny Hoffman for the tudor style.
