Hi All,
Here is the beginning of a studless brick wall study I just started. I have
more floors to build and details to work out, but you get the idea...
|
...... Impressive..... For a second I thought this was a huge model to get
such beautiful brick work (ie: 4x2 with tiles on top for each brick), then I
realized how you did it, and was even more impressed. What more can I say
but wow.
It’s a fantastic study, and hopefully it extends to a complete MOC
Now to find me a LOT of 2x1’s ;)

And dalek (5-stud) bricks, and technic 1x1 one-hole bricks, too, one
presumes...
It’s very neat, what with half-plate spacing everywhere, but you’d have to be
very carefully moving it if you didn’t want to have to re-set loads of tiles!
I have wondered before if there’s a more rigid way to do this at this
scale...

Hello all and thanks a lot for all of your wonderful comments! I truly do
appreciate it.
OK, here are the details. For the actual brick wall part I only used multiples
of four different pieces; a 1x1 gray five-studded brick, a 1x1 gray technic
brick, a 1x1 red tile and a 1x2 red tile. That’s it. For a simple peek at the
technique I used (someone else figured it out and posted this)
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1391994. In my building there
are two 1x1 gray 3-studded bricks to the top right of the arch to continue the
brick pattern.
Here’s the back of my building:
I used regular old red tiles. It must look darker due to the lighting
(unintentional). I did want to do it in dark red, but I only have dark red
1x2s. Anyway, as far as scale goes, it is of no particular scale. This technique
really works best with wall in lengths that are multiples of 10 to maintain the
ability to “wrap corners” neatly. To make a 20-stud-long wall, it is necessary
to add a column of 1x1 technic bricks to maintain the pattern. So really, this
technique is somewhat limiting!
Believe it or not, this type of wall is rather sturdy. The interlocking 1x1
bricks make sure of that. I will also add tons of technic 1x2 bricks with two
holes on the backside to ensure rigidity and to make the final wall two studs
thick. The brick tiles do move a little if handled poorly, but not that much
overall. It would be a great effect to age parts of larger walls instead of
doing entire walls or buildings this way.
I plan on adding at least another floor, hopefully two, to complete this MOC in
the near future...
Build On!
