I'd love some more ideas of the implementation of this concept, anyone up to
it... So I've been looking for sub 1 plate thick elements. The verticle
panel part of a 1x2x1 panel is a 1/2 plate thinkness. The top "plate" of a
1x2x1 titling hinge has less than 1/2 plate thickness and the 1x4x1 lattice
fence is thicker than 1/2 plate.

MicroStripe using the 1x2x1 tilting hinge brick:
Use top part one color and bottom part a different color.
Need a lot of them! But, when shown flat-side-out, the different colors
create a MicroStripe. Don't know how to hide the "ends". Here's a picture:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jamathis/Trains/TrainsOther/MicroStriping/MicroStripe/v1MicroStripe/hingestripe_v1.jpg
The 1x4x1 lattice fence element is almost 1/3 of the width of a brick (as
shown by MLCad). Not sure how to incorporate this thickness into a smooth
construction.
later,

Of the choices the hinge brick is defently the best choice! Nice find guys!
As to hiding the edge what about using some adornment like a 1x1x1 T brick?
(Or headlight brick etc...)

I noticed that the top of the tilting hinge brick and the lattice combined
seemed to equal one plate. So I guess that gives us 2/3, 1/2, 1/3 striping
widths. Also a clip flag is also a 1/2 plate width.

Hey all,
I think the hinge brick is the ideal solution, but you could also use
baseplates, though this might require cutting pieces :( and would need some
clever way to attach the upper layers to the lower layers.
Any suggestions on how to use the clip-on flag? It looks fine in that
L-Draw pic but I don't know how you'd accomplish that in ABS.

How thick is the vertical bit on the 1x2x1 panel?

Or some of the taller panels could give interesting potential for parallel
micro striping.
