Great resource Didier!  It's wonderful to have so many techniques compiled into
one document.  This would be perfect for handing out hard-copies of at LUG
meetings, among many uses.

A couple of things that occurred to me while reading it...

1. Minor English criticism - in several places, you use the word "building" as a
noun to describe things people have made.  Typically that word is only used to
describe an edifice such as a house, office, shop, etc. not just any combination
of parts.  I would probably substitute "construction" or "creation" or something
like that instead.

2. In the SNIR section, why not add a bit about how you can achieve a 1:8 ratio
angle using hinges, as done by LEGO in the Sopwith Camel airplane?  Also, how
about the 3:4:5 and 5:12:13 Pythagorean triangles?

Thank you - I'keep this thread in my bookmarks and I'll fix that in the next
release

Yes, the SNIR chapter needs an improvment with advanced use of hinges parts.
More ideas or resources ?

Thanks,

Didier
