Steve Barile shared with me an idea for making thin stripes. I've tinkered with the idea and come up with this solution: (URL) cool idea, Steve! later, James Mathis (22 years ago, 23-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks James for a nice implementation and drawing that all out. Some of those smaller elements (which nicely portray construction detail) can be replaced by long elements that ties it all together, adding more strength. SteveB (...) (22 years ago, 24-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

OK, James, now you need to create a MOC series using these parts and get Lego to produce them ;-) (...) -- Tom Stangl ***(URL) Visual FAQ home ***(URL) Bay Area DSMs (22 years ago, 24-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Kind words. Thanks. This would contain loads of nice SNOT parts. I didn't real-brick-build my concept, and as Steve Barile mentioned, it may need some structural reinforcement. Also a little tough to build in a good interior with the floor (...) (22 years ago, 24-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

I'd love some more ideas of the implementation of this concept, anyone up to it... So I've been looking for sub 1 plate thick elements. The verticle panel part of a 1x2x1 panel is a 1/2 plate thinkness. The top "plate" of a 1x2x1 titling hinge has (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) MicroStripe using the 1x2x1 tilting hinge brick: Use top part one color and bottom part a different color. Need a lot of them! But, when shown flat-side-out, the different colors create a MicroStripe. Don't know how to hide the "ends". Here's (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

In lugnet.trains, James Mathis writes: I noticed that the top of the tilting hinge brick and the lattice combined seemed to equal one plate. So I guess that gives us 2/3, 1/2, 1/3 striping widths. Also a clip flag is also a 1/2 plate width. SteveB (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

Hey all, I think the hinge brick is the ideal solution, but you could also use baseplates, though this might require cutting pieces :( and would need some clever way to attach the upper layers to the lower layers. Any suggestions on how to use the (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
