SNOT techniques in non-Technic building are generally quite different
from Technic construction because the goals are different. The goal in
non-Technic design is to fill in gaps as well as possible while adding
lots of detail, and while using parts in a different manner than they
are normally used. In Technic building, parts used on their sides or
upside down to not generally fill the same function...they either
outline a shape or orient another mechanical element in the right
direction.
