I seem to recall a post on Lugnet that had bricks which went in offset
increments of 1/16th sized steps, but I can’t find the link on lugnet.
Does
anyone have information and pictures of such offset step building sizes?
Cheers ...

Try here for 1/10 offset

Geoffrey - sorry, I was forced to change hosts when I moved out of an NTL cable
area. Well, actually I moved into another one but was glad for the excuse to be
shot of them. My website curently hangs around under www.joefish.co.uk, or homepages.tcp.co.uk/~j.j.railton if you’d prefer not to have the occasional
spyware-touting re-director’s pop-up.
I’m trying to sort out some better hosting and name redirecting, so those images
aren’t actually up there at the moment. I’ve mostly been using Brickshelf of
late.
It was really only that image that was there though, and I’m grateful that
Holger is keeping it alive.
The way it came about was I worked out that by building sideways with SNOT, each
plate I added was 0.4 of a stud (5 plates x 0.4 = 2 studs). I could also
do 0.2 of a stud using the half-plate recess of headlight bricks, or the
half-plate overhang of the 1x2-2x4 bracket.
But, jumper plates with their one stud in the centre were a 0.5 stud offset, so
if I could combine the two methods I could get 0.5 - 0.4 = 0.1 stud offsets,
and that’s what that picture shows.
There are headlight bricks, plates and hinges to get the 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 & 0.8
offsets, then the same techniques but starting on jumper plates to get the 0.1,
0.3, 0.5 0.7 and 0.9 stud offsets.
What you find is that a plate (0.4 studs) is very close to half a stud (0.5,
obviously), and I’ve used this to disguise a few features on some of my
other
models.
