Those 1060 connections are just considering right angle, studs up
connections, though. As we all know by now, that isn't the only way to
think:
With 2x4 *bricks* only, you can't do much more than studs up, but you can
still rotate through a wide angle by connecting with only one stud.
2x4 plates are another matter entirely--you can start wedging the plates
between studs. Who can come up with the best model using only 2x4
plates? :)
