 | | 45 degree walls using hinges?
|
| Hi all! I am planning a new building, for which I'll need a 45 degree wall. I was playing aroung with some hinge parts ((URL) and (URL) ), and tried to make a 4 stud long all. The 4 studs have an "offset", which is almost a right number of bricks, (...) (21 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
