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

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!
