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 quanitity on Bricklink)?
The best solution I’ve come up with is to use these pieces periodically:
and then the two halves are secured together with some cross beams.
Any other ideas? The goal is to have a smooth surface on top, so the delicious
technic plate (e.g. part 4263) mated to two 2x2 L-shaped plates (part 2420)
won’t work as the technic plates have rounded edges. Technic pins leave little
gaps, and 1x1 bricks with 3 studs aren’t produced in brown yet (are they?).
Soooooo, let the brainstorming begin!

Are these butt-to-butt bricks supposed to form a flat surface, or upright walls with the studs facing out left and right, or a vertical wall with studs up and down?
