 | | Interior Doors? —William R. Ward
|
| | | I'm tearing my hair out trying to add internal doors to my latest MOC. I have built several staterooms/cabins, but have been unable to come up with a decent door mechanism. The doors that Lego makes are not futuristic-looking enough for my taste. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | (...) What about a hinged door made of plates? You can use a 1x2 plate with handle attached to 1x1 plates with vertical clips as a hinge, or you can use the 2/3 finger hinges. Remember that 5 plates is the same height as 2 studs. Here are some (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | (...) The first technique looks somewhat flimsy unless it is done with a lot of clips as you did in this example. The second is quite clever - I hadn't noticed the 1/2 offset when I saw this model earlier. Very cool! For many years I thought I knew (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)
