|
| (...) Hi David. (...) Feel free, new threads are good! (...) For me it depends on the moc. Cliffs are pretty easy using BURPs and LURPs. See the current BUB thread for pics of a cliff. (URL) (...) When I have raised a moc I almost never fill in (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

| Hi Dave, I thought about this problem a great deal as I wanted to create a seaside town with a dock and so I needed to elevate the town above sea-level. I ended up using the duplo solution for this. You can see pictures at: (URL) I don't have my (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)
| | | | | Re: Raising a model?
|
| (...) I don't have the best of suggestions -- other than to caution you about how much weight you want to put on the 'raised' area. If it's really light, just about anything goes: a lattice, duplo (though I just can't imagine myself doing that), or (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) You could try Duplo (it is fully compatible with System) but you may find that it is even more expensive than an equivalent stack of regular brick. The most widely-used technique that I've seen is a mix of 2x4s and 2x2s to create a lattice (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) That puts Duplo out of the question. I have an abundance of light grey 1*x pieces in all sizes, try to hold onto the 2*x bricks for strength. What do you mean by lifting from the base and not from the upper part? (...) The framework approach (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)
| | | | | Re: Raising a model?
|
| (...) Well thank the stars for that! (...) I have used duplo, and the normal bricks fit OK on top, but obviously only in multiples of 2 and also only using 2*x bricks not plates or 1*x bricks. The bonding is quite weak, so you need to remember to (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)
| | | | | Raising a model?
|
| Hi all, I know this may be a change of topic to what is most popular at the moment(colour changes and new castle sets), but I just had a question to ask for all. What do most AFOLs use as an underlay when raising a model? (landscaping, mountains, (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)
