I'm soliciting solutions to a not-unfamiliar SNOT-construction quandry: What's the best way to attach brown bricks butt-end to butt-end (the ends opposite the studs) securely, using only brown pieces that are readily available (i.e. available in (...)

(...) Thanks :-) I particularly like the fact that the effect is easier to achieve with Lego in 8mm scale than in HO or OO in 3.5mm or 4mm scale. Using SNOT with grille tiles gives a finer grille than just alternating plates, and there's some relief (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim)

(...) I'm not sure if you mean it's too big or too small - I'd say it's pretty close for minifigs! I saw several on the island of different sizes.

Hello! When I was browsing BrickShelf and I saw this windmill it was crying "Don Quijote!" to me. :-) That's a cool building, both in terms of building techniques and in terms of realism. It's not exactly minifig scale, though, is it? Bye Jojo (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.schleim)

Can you SNOT-build w/o SNOT-elements? Can an entire MOC be built with ordinary bricks, plates, and slopes without a single stud pointing up? Especially a house?
