(...) That's true, but your version shouldn't require headlight bricks, should it? (...) I did a quicky test using a 1x1 with four studs just to see if a tile will fit between the two bricks, and it does work. Since you'd be using 1x1 bricks to hold (...)

(...) Also you would keep the ability to atach bottles to the studs, something not possible when using the headlight bricks. I think I will try to build the two solutions for real (maybe even a combination of both), to see how practicly feasable (...) (21 years ago, 14-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

Hmm, another thought for the latice... Are there any tubes the diameter of a stud? If so, you could use a latice fence with tubes stucking through. I think that might get the idea across pretty well. Frank (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town)
