| (...) Hey that is a REALLY neat idea. Too bad my secret 3CS building is already packed for its trip to Portland or I'd be stealing that idea as we speak. But if I stole it, I'd probably do it differently. Instead of using bricks stud on, I think I'd (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town, FTX)

| (...) Thanks much Lar, glad you liked it! I actually tried several different types of lattice (Thanks BTW, couldn't think of that word yesterday!), but this is what worked best. I tried using 1xX plates in the same direction of the bricks (just no (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town, FTX)

| Hmm, another thought for the latice... Are there any tubes the diameter of a stud? If so, you could use a latice fence with tubes stucking through. I think that might get the idea across pretty well. Frank (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

Aside from that, there are the flex-system tubes and lightsaber blades, which are small enough to go through a hollow stud. The two combined might work (...)

| (...) I realy like yor idea, and the challenge you lay before us. It got me thinking and my first (futile) attempt was this: (URL) But that looked more like a buisness fair display stand from the 60's than a midieval wine rack. ¹) Then, it dawned to (...)

| (...) Ooh! I think I got it! There's a (URL) new piece> that's coming out this year. It's a 1x1 brick with studs on two sides. If you take a plate and a bunch of these new bricks and place them with alternating orientation, you can attach tiles to (...)

I think I will try to build the two solutions for real (maybe even a combination of both), to see how practicly feasable (...) (21 years ago, 14-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

| (...) That's true, but your version shouldn't require headlight bricks, should it? (...) I did a quicky test using a 1x1 with four studs just to see if a tile will fit between the two bricks, and it does work. Since you'd be using 1x1 bricks to hold (...)

My LDraw mockup has been modeled with headlight bricks, based on their common availability, and because I prefered to point the smooth top surface of the tiles 1x2 all upwards in the same (...)

| (...) Yeah, that was something I wasn't happy about with my idea, but I figured it wouldn't be so bad if you made sure the hollow-up tiles were covered with conveniently-placed wine bottles. Fortunately, it's actually possible to leave open (...) (21 years ago, 25-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town)
