My SNOTgon uses headlight bricks for the 1/5 stud offset.  Check it out:

Ah, now since one stud is exactly 2 1/2 plates, a 1/5 stud offset is
equivalent to half a plate.  That's equivalent to the indentation on the
face of a headlight brick, or the height of its base lip, or the 1x4 face of
one of those 1x2-1x4 brackets.  There must be loads of ways of doing this.

I have to agree it looks great.  I'm going to try one of these myself.

(...) I checked out the pics, but they are kinda fuzzy, so they are a little hard to see the 1/5th. Can you describe how it is designed? Do you happen to have a .dat file for it? Thanks! Jake --- Jake McKee AFOL LUGNET Member #211 (23 years ago, 3-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
