Hello fellow Schleimers, while working on my six-wide Ford F-150 (1 stud to 1
foot scale, seen here) I
discovered a SNOT technique that I wound up not using...mainly because Im not
sure how pure it is. It uses a tiny piece of tubing:
So, whats the verdict? Is cutting pneumatic tubing valid? Or does this make
me evil?

Ill go with C, its valid but youre evil anyway...
But Im not very pure, I already cut flex system tubing.

That's really cool, similar to this method:

And as long as everything LEGO made neither you nor your mom are evil or unpure.

Yeah, go for it! If you look around in .trains and .technic youll 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 with a
single length of tubing and the user is expected to cut it to length per the
instructions. Hows that for rationalizing... :D

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 isnt, as they always supplied it in correct lengths.
So, youre alright, but Larrys now an outcast. ;-)

Sez YOU!
How do you think LEGO gets it to be the right length??? >:-)

Thats 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. Theyd also fit inside the tubes of 2+ wide plates
wouldnt they?

Thanks! Actually, I dont think theres enough grip when used inside the 2+
plate tubes...thats my favorite thing about this method; its VERY strong.
