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.
