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:

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.

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

Or some of the taller panels could give interesting potential for parallel micro striping. /Heidi (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
