Hi Didier,

thanks for this great resource for advanced use of LEGO elements! You’ve collected much more SNOT and Co. stuff then I did when I did my website years ago. And yes, there are allways new elements and there are so many hobbiest finding even more possibilities to connect the known pieces in undescribed ways.

So it will be a task like translating the Bible if you/we want to track all building techniques. And in the end isn’t an advanced building technique a technique which is not described at any website, book or ebook? Isn’t it the challenge to find even cooler ways of connecting elements.

SNOT vs. stressing the elements ... We are the hobbiest, we have the freedom of choice how we connect elements. LEGO has to follow it’s own rules and I would say it is up to LEGO to promote these rules much better to the (fan) public.

And what is behind SNOT? Here is an example of high-end building technique by “mijasper”

The discussion here shows how multiple the information resources are today. There are still folks out there which do not know about brickwiki for example. I don’t blame someone in person I just say that there are so many possibilities and noone has the chance to use all resources. Therefore I would say a good mixture is a good thing to have: Some ebook like PDFs, some websites, some wikis ... We will never find one way which fits all.

I am thankful for resources like Didier’s PDF. And I also know the need of such resources. Many emails are popping in form folks seeing my gallery or website and asking - form our old-afol-view - simple questions. So it is nice to have resources like that in background.

Sorry for my unsorted thoughts and ideas ...

Good to see the Schleim-Group still schleiming!
