(...) Believe it or not, I worked some of this out whilst placing sheep. We use a lot of the sheep based on a 2x3 brick, but they all tend to line up in the same direction. So, next time you're building a flock, try this: Place two 1x1 round plates (...) (17 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) This is very cool! It seems obvious now you've highlighted it, but I could never have spotted it. (I can't wait to use it in practice!) Thanks for sharing! Cheers Richie Dulin (17 years ago, 18-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) For the sake of completeness, it's worth to mention this technique not only works for any length, but also for any width of plate/brick. In other words, you're able to slant ? x 2, ? x 4 and so on by mirroring along the diagonal as well, using (...) (17 years ago, 18-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

Hey there fellow schleimers! You probably don't know me, as this is my first post here. I usually hang around CS, and over the last couple of years I've become more and more interested in alternative building techniques. I've not posted them here (...)
