Hello !

The second thing I presented at BricMania (Grenoble, France, July 2004) after the moo-torized cows ( http://news.lugnet.com/announce/moc/?n=2177 ) is a presentation about a building technique : TOPLESs.

TOPLESs is the acronyme of Tile Or Plate Located between Enough Studs.

And because a picture is better than an explanation :

T-LESs

Actually, when I really discovered some tips about this technique, I was building a footbridge for a train station.

So I made research about this technique and found some good applications.

You will find the presentation of my study about this technique in the ILTCO library ( http://www.iltco.org/library/docs/TOPLESS_BM2004.pdf 1.5Mo ) and some of my examples in my Brickshelf gallery http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=100906

This comes from the old castle sets, before there was a horse element. The ears of the horses (...) (20 years ago, 18-Oct-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.schleim, lugnet.trains, FTX)
