(...) That's brilliant. Cutting pneumatic tubing is a 'pure' method IMO. Various lengths of tubing are one of the more usefull parts in fact, but this never occured to me. Well done. They'd also fit inside the tubes of 2+ wide plates wouldn't they? (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) <snip> (...) Yeah, go for it! If you look around in .trains and .technic you'll find lots of MOCs with "non-standard" lengths of tubing. In fact, Lego fully condones the cutting of tubing (at least the pneumatic kind), as kits are supplied (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) I'll go with "C", it's valid but you're evil anyway... But I'm not very pure, I already cut flex system tubing. (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

Hello fellow Schleimers, while working on my six-wide Ford F-150 (1 stud to 1 foot scale, seen (URL) here>) I discovered a SNOT technique that I wound up not using...mainly because I'm not sure how "pure" it is. It uses a tiny piece of tubing: (3 (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) Wow, that's clever. Nice work! So I am wondering if it is even possible to go smaller. The geometric ratio seems to suggest not, but then I keep thinking that's the smallest you can go and someone goes smaller. (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) Yeah, I've tried that technique before (for a different project) and noticed the same gap. How about using a small bit of flex tubing inside a bit of pneumatic tubing like so: (URL) No gap: (URL) And, it's still technically 100% Lego, though I (...)

Heh, that's what I get for toying around and calling "done" the first thing that worked. :) I hadn't even thought of that until just now, but yeah, could easily reduce that mess of 5 pieces down to a single 1x1 with side studs on its side...
