I realy like yor idea, and the challenge you lay before us. It got me thinking
and my first (futile) attempt was this:
But that looked more like a buisness fair display stand from the 60’s than a
midieval wine rack. ¹)
Then, it dawned to me that the diagonal distance between adjacent studs is
Squareroot of 2 x 20 LDU = 28.2843 LDU. That happens to be just over 1 stud wide
+ 1 plate high, perfect for a wine rack made of tiles with brick-wide gaps in
between. I’ve made a MLCad mockup:
Ofcourse, this just shows the principle, and white and red color are for

keeping the long tiles in place are amongst the things you have to work out for
yourself.

illustrates best how the principle works.

I tried using 1xX plates in the same direction of the bricks (just no (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town, FTX)
