(...) 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)
