I tried something last night w/legos to fit 2 in six studs, and it can be done.
you need to actually have them on 5 studs by 2 studs with one stud between them
(this is where their arms go). the 5x2 stud needs to be centered on a 6 by
some thing plate or whatever, using the 1x2's with only one stud on top, (four
of them). then on the ends of the 6 by whatever put the 1x2 L-shaped things.
i would l-draw it but i am prettly much l-draw illiterate.
