As I continue to plan how I will build my next castle, as my parts are currently used in other things, I began to think of the Castle's Keep. Now, every castle has got to have a place to eat, and of course my next castle being a royal castle, my (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town, FTX) !

(...) Hey that is a REALLY neat idea. Too bad my secret 3CS building is already packed for its trip to Portland or I'd be stealing that idea as we speak. But if I stole it, I'd probably do it differently. Instead of using bricks stud on, I think I'd (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Thanks much Lar, glad you liked it! I actually tried several different types of lattice (Thanks BTW, couldn't think of that word yesterday!), but this is what worked best. I tried using 1xX plates in the same direction of the bricks (just no (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town, FTX)

Hmm, another thought for the latice... Are there any tubes the diameter of a stud? If so, you could use a latice fence with tubes stucking through. I think that might get the idea across pretty well. Frank (20 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

(...) There are TECHNIC pins, but the short little stud pin is the only one with a non-split end. Aside from that, there are the flex-system tubes and lightsaber blades, which are small enough to go through a hollow stud. The two combined might work (...)

Anthony, Very cool idea. I've got an idea to follow up my interpretation of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven with with other Poe tales every Hallowen (The Pit and the Pendulum seems like it would be very cool. I need some Spanish soldiers for that.) (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) I realy like yor idea, and the challenge you lay before us. It got me thinking and my first (futile) attempt was this: (URL) But that looked more like a buisness fair display stand from the 60's than a midieval wine rack. ¹) Then, it dawned to (...)

(...) Ooh! I think I got it! There's a (URL) new piece> that's coming out this year. It's a 1x1 brick with studs on two sides. If you take a plate and a bunch of these new bricks and place them with alternating orientation, you can attach tiles to (...)

(...) Also you would keep the ability to atach bottles to the studs, something not possible when using the headlight bricks. I think I will try to build the two solutions for real (maybe even a combination of both), to see how practicly feasable (...) (20 years ago, 14-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

(...) That's true, but your version shouldn't require headlight bricks, should it? (...) I did a quicky test using a 1x1 with four studs just to see if a tile will fit between the two bricks, and it does work. Since you'd be using 1x1 bricks to hold (...)

It's nice to see such fruitfull and inspiring feedback. (...) My LDraw mockup has been modeled with headlight bricks, based on their common availability, and because I prefered to point the smooth top surface of the tiles 1x2 all upwards in the same (...)

Fortunately, it's actually possible to leave open (...) (20 years ago, 25-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

As in I wonder if tiles will fit between those diagonally turned 1x1s and be held tightly enough to work out... the gaps (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) The gaps are just a tiny bit wider than the thickness of a tile, as mentioned in (URL) Manfred's post> nearly a month ago. The 1x1 tiles are laid out in pretty much the same pattern as Manfred's headlight brick idea, or my 3-stud 1x1 brick or (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
