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 less than 1/2 plate thickness and the 1x4x1 lattice
fence is thicker than 1/2 plate.

OK, James, now you need to create a MOC series using these parts and get
Lego to produce them ;-)

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 bits getting in the way.

Please keep in mind that I credit Steve Barile with introducing me to even
thinking about micro striping.  His idea.  My own execution.  And, I hope we
all can apply use and generate new implementations of this micro striping
construction.

later,
James Mathis

Steve Barile shared with me an idea for making thin stripes.

I've tinkered with the idea and come up with this solution:

Very cool idea, Steve!

(...) 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)
