What is your favourite way to connect bricks upside down? Bricks
upside down is commonly useful in buildings eg. for putting arches
upside down. Do you simply use tiles and slot in the bricks without
any connection?
One method I can see is using the 2/3 finger plate hinges as a mean to
connect the upside down bricks to the rest. They will leave a visible
sign on the outside, namely the rounded hinge ends.
