Hello,
These stairs are my last creation based on a building technique :
During the last days I worked on the 1/10 offset. In the past, Jason J
Railton showed us how to obtain a horizontal 1/10 offset [1].
My work began with the study of the minifig leg. Indeed, this brick allows in
SNOT to have a hole in what I call low position ( a Technic brick or the back
of a headlight brick have the hole in high position, a vertical 1/2 plate
offset ). We can have the same hole in low position with a lain headlight
brick but with a horizontal offset. So using minifig legs and headlight
bricks, I obtained a vertical 1/5 offset. After that, I inserted jumpers to
get the vertical 1/10 offset.
 
This configuration has the studs inside. It is easy to have the same offset
with the studs outside using classic SNOT techniques.
What is really interressant in this technique is the use of the minifig leg
to have a low position hole without a horizontal offset.
Some days after, I decided to combine the vertical and the horizontal
offsets, and tried to find an idea of application. So I built these little
stairs. Each step is built with a similar technique as the following :
As result, I’have this small MOC which uses *only* 84 headligh bricks :). I
really like the visual effects provided by the alternance of the white and
blue motifs on the steps. It was for me just a stylistic exercise.
Maybe a day someone will find a good use of this technique.
You will find the totality of the pictures on the Brickshelf gallery :

Cool. Thoa I have to say, the “stairs” appear as more of a ramp than steps to
me. Mostly that is because Lego is so blocky, that when I see slight blockiness
I guess I let my eyes smooth it out. Anyway, maybe its just me.
Love the MOC thoa. Its cool.
Also, I love the headlight brick. Its one of my favorite bricks!
