 | | Possibly a new, somewhat dastardly SNOT technique...
|
| Hello fellow Schleimers, while working on my six-wide Ford F-150 (1 stud to 1 foot scale, seen (URL) here>) I discovered a SNOT technique that I wound up not using...mainly because I'm not sure how "pure" it is. It uses a tiny piece of tubing: (3 (...) (20 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) I'll go with "C", it's valid but you're evil anyway... But I'm not very pure, I already cut flex system tubing. (20 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) That's really cool, similar to this method: (URL) as long as everything LEGO made neither you nor your mom are evil or unpure. -Orion (20 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim)

| (...) <snip> (...) Yeah, go for it! If you look around in .trains and .technic you'll find lots of MOCs with "non-standard" lengths of tubing. In fact, Lego fully condones the cutting of tubing (at least the pneumatic kind), as kits are supplied (...) (20 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) That's brilliant. Cutting pneumatic tubing is a 'pure' method IMO. Various lengths of tubing are one of the more usefull parts in fact, but this never occured to me. Well done. They'd also fit inside the tubes of 2+ wide plates wouldn't they? (...) (20 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) Ah, this is the thing. Cutting PNEUMATIC tubing is allowed, as Lego themselves advocated it from the very first pneumatic sets, and gave you cutting guides. Cutting FLEX tubing isn't, as they always supplied it in correct lengths. So, you're (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) Sez YOU! How do you think LEGO gets it to be the right length??? >:-) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) Thanks! Actually, I don't think there's enough grip when used inside the 2+ plate tubes...that's my favorite thing about this method; it's VERY strong. Derek (20 years ago, 4-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)
