Hi Andy,

That's the point! The axle connectors makes it impossible to push the axles
through the whole strcture!


Hmmm.

It looks to me that only thing that may get it apart is the fact that • sometimes
the bricks flex a little bit, so you could try to push in opposite directions
on the horizontal 1 x 6 beams and try to pry out one of the plates that are on
the cross beam in the middle.  If you manage that, then you should be able to
do the same on the other side and take the cross beam out.  Then it would just
fall apart.

That is a solution, but does that idea fit the regular way of putting LEGO®
apart?

Looks like it's going to be tough.

Ohh, yes - but even constructing something like that must have been very tough,
or just coincidence?

Regards,

Holger

Whenever I use Technic beams and pins in a construction, I end up having to flex parts to put things together and take them apart...which is a real pain when you're trying to improve some little thing. --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu (URL) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

(...) tough, (...) Putting it together isn't all that bad, you push the 3L axles in as the LAST step...at least on one side. Taking it apart would be much more of a challenge... James (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
