Hi all,
Just playing around with a boiler concept. You could replace the headlight
bricks by 1x1 technic bricks with plates to join the four segments but I kind of
liked the look of the segments done this way ;)

Whoops. No you can’t make that replacement... lucky I showed it the working way
;)

Tim,
How about using 1x1 with studs on 4 sides in the corners and 1x1 headlight
bricks on one side (stud of 1x1 with 4 studs to the back of headlight brick) for
connecting the plate with tiles.. You would have to alter a few connections
when connecting to the boiler plate because of the stud on top. I think that
would work and allow for connecting with plates at a 90 degree angle to the
outside tiles.
Just a thought,
-Eric

Hi Eric,
That means you can’t line them up. My first design used that brick.

Yeah, I guess your right, I think there is another flaw in my thinking as well
but without brick in front of me I can’t say for sure. I like your design!

I had a tough time playing around with this circular schleim idea about a year
ago. I had been trying to “fill in” a 1-stud-wide version of this so that I
could get a circle that was roughly 6-wide (decoration on the side of a Millyard
building, IIRC). Unfortunately, I came to the conclusion that it was impossible
to fill in the circle solidly without extending into another dimension (IE
making the disc be 2+ studs thick instead of 1). Wouldn’t work so well for a
hollow smokestack, but if anyone can come up with a solution, I’d be quite
curious to see it workable!

Nice, also good for tank cars instead of the 2x2 rounded slope piece assuming
you can get enough longitudinal strength.
