Thanks for the tip Ka-On
I was working off the premise that 1 foot = 1x16 x 2 beams + 1x6 x 1 beam =
38 studsish (remembered that from original sumo competition in Guelph, where
the big borg cube was fitted with those beam lengths to hold it all together.
So now I'll make a 1x16 x 3 beams + 1x8 x 1 beam = 56 studs plus one stud
gap somewhere along the length = just shy of 18 inches :)
