This is my first post here. I would like to announce a standard I've been working on. All Kinds of Structures (A.K.o.S.) The purpose of this standard is to define a modular block-based building method for building towns. Modules can be squares or (...)

(...) OK, forgive me for being dense but how does the lovely framework for building interiors achieve a "modular block-based building method for building towns"? A modular system (like moonbase or CCC) defines how external connections are made and (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jun-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) The baseplate limitations are there: 16×16, 16×32 etc. The sidewalk/roadway is not specified, because the blocks should fit between 32×32 baseplates. The idea is that the modules do not overlap with the baseplates of the layout, you can build (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

I really like this, I can see it being used a lot to create backings/facards (sp) for train shows etc. It is perfect for filling in "missing details" after a layout is finished, and as it is easy modify as not to repeditive. I can see a lot of train (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

<SNIP> Hi Akos, I really like this concept (although I have my suspicions that you just wanted to make an acronym out of your name ;-) ). I may borrow you idea for the structure for use in my home layout. Great idea! Tim (20 years ago, 16-Jun-05, to lugnet.build)

Very interesting! I can see how this would help with emergency cover for show layouts... Personally I would still be concentrating on 'whole' MOCs but if you needed a quick background this would be great. Thanks and God Bless, Nathan (20 years ago, 18-Jun-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

I've build two more A.K.o.S. buildings this weekend just to see if this concept would actually work in reality. I think they don't look that bad. (URL) Akos Kostyan LEGO Ambassador akos@malug.hu (20 years ago, 19-Jun-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

Hi, I tried to build one of these and had some difficulties. Maybe you can clarify them for me. It seems that the idea is not to leave 2 studs on every side, but only on the sides that are going to have facades. If I understand the AKOS system, the (...)

(...) I'll try my best! :-) BTW, You must show me what you built ;-) (...) Correct. Originally, I was going to leave a 2 stud setback on all four sides, but I decided that a firewall did not need to be 2 studs thick. One goal of this method is to (...)
