As for the 1 plate horizontal vs. 1 brick vertical, yes it represents a
problem of scale. However, in buildings of this type, only load supporting
horizontal beams are actually as big as the vertical uprights, and thus you • get
smaller mid-level beams.  I usually make the beams at floor levels two plates
thick, but I skimped on this model to conserve pieces.  The problem of a lack
of angle beams can easily be solved with black vinyl adhesive tape (the kind
sign makers use).  I've been meaning to get to an art supply store to buy • some,
but haven't gotten around to it.  Black electrical tape would probably work • too
if you don't mind the sticky crap it leaves behind when you remove it!



I found a nice and realistic way to place a horizontal lego piece across to
make Tudor (easier than saying Half Timber) :)

(...) Horizontal is OK: how about diagonal? That's the hard part (even the miniland half-timbered buildings use stepped standard bricks which looks bad close up). Kevin (24 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)
