It’s mentioned on this link here: http://www.holgermatthes.de/bricksus/index.htm?http://www.holgermatthes.de/bricksus/offset.htm

And was on this link here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.j.railton/lab/index.html

The wayback machine can take me to the index page listed there, unfortunately the rest of it has not been archived so I’m not able to get to anything that was linked to from that page.

Try here for 1/10 offset

Geoffrey - sorry, I was forced to change hosts when I moved out of an NTL cable area. Well, actually I moved into another one but was glad for the excuse to be shot of them. My website curently hangs around under www.joefish.co.uk, or homepages.tcp.co.uk/~j.j.railton if you’d prefer not to have the occasional spyware-touting re-director’s pop-up.

I’m trying to sort out some better hosting and name redirecting, so those images aren’t actually up there at the moment. I’ve mostly been using Brickshelf of late.

It was really only that image that was there though, and I’m grateful that Holger is keeping it alive.

The way it came about was I worked out that by building sideways with SNOT, each plate I added was 0.4 of a stud (5 plates x 0.4 = 2 studs). I could also do 0.2 of a stud using the half-plate recess of headlight bricks, or the half-plate overhang of the 1x2-2x4 bracket.

But, jumper plates with their one stud in the centre were a 0.5 stud offset, so if I could combine the two methods I could get 0.5 - 0.4 = 0.1 stud offsets, and that’s what that picture shows.

There are headlight bricks, plates and hinges to get the 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 & 0.8 offsets, then the same techniques but starting on jumper plates to get the 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 0.7 and 0.9 stud offsets.

What you find is that a plate (0.4 studs) is very close to half a stud (0.5, obviously), and I’ve used this to disguise a few features on some of my other models.
