For the discussion on raising a model -- you can get a lot of weight on just a few bricks (at least the thing has not fallen off the table yet. Link: (URL) the Color issue (I must get a copy of that O' Fortuna track) I am hoarding all the classic (...) (21 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hey Dave! Thanks for the comments, glad you like Bub. I'm not currently planning on building the rest of the landscape. It would be trees and hills for miles all around. No, I didn't put in a damsel in distress. You are the second to mention (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Josh! Excellent MOC! I really like to see MOCs where folks have planned out an entire 'scene' not just built a building. The whole construcion looks just really fun to play with. Are you planning on doing the surrounding hillsides or other (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Dave, I know what you mean about large constructions with lateral and top weight. Here is the link to my overly large castle (mind you, it's a little too big): (URL) you go up a link, you can see the progress on the building all the way down (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Right, this design is not as strong in the lateral direction as a more dense lattice. For a stronger structure, you can place more layers of 2x4s, ie: put an X and a Y support brace together between every 5 2x2s instead of alternating x 5 y 5 (...)

(...) This was my first attempt and unfortunately, I failed miserably. I found I had too much sag in the Base plate between the 8x8 column and the edges. However, I have used this method in one part of my MOC where the Ground will be raised only (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) The GMLTC uses a "grid and tower" system, with towers of 2x2 bricks, and a grid of 2x4 bricks. (URL) Towers, grid, overlay (surface). The green bricks represent the outside wall of the module, the blue 1x4 bricks are what leaves room for the (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Interesting. It looks like it would be much more vulnerable to shear than the "GMLTC lattice" (search for that string to find lots of posts about it) though.... (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
