I was looking at some Lego train creations recently & was thinking about how the
sloped brick ‘lines’ on the trains were well done. Then I thought of the
difficulty in getting sloped or curved lines to ‘look’ right in brick, OR maybe
not having the right SNOT pieces to do a certain slope/curve like some of the
great examples I’ve seen, OR maybe not wanting to put stickers on so one would
have to remove the adhesive gunk later. Then it hit me, why not use paper with
tabs that fold over the stud like cape & backpack pieces do on minifigs:
This could be used for any decal,logo, etc. & allow for other brick arrangements
underneath. E.G. what if you needed an axle going thru the model mounted right
where the sticker is & the axle isn’t in the color you need or the ‘x’ end looks
awkward? Voila!
Thanks to the Wamalug site for the great Lego graph paper (I couldn’t find the
official link on Lego.com anymore)
Enjoy!

| Interesting idea. When I thought of paper I immediately thought of it tearing or having a different finish (matte rather than glossy), so I thought maybe really thin plastic, I think I recall see this in scrap booking shops. SteveB (...) (19 years ago, 11-Dec-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)
