Here's a few shots of the redesigned RH with Dark Red Stripes and some very
clever SNOT work suggested by Jason Railton and some follow on ideas from
James Mathis. You can see the details implemented in the image rh5-600.

detail .dats... this design works for stripes as short as 2 plates to as
long as, well, infinity... (design by Jason Railton)

The key to this working is that the interrior of the 1x2x3 panel is 7.5
plates (9 plates - 1 plate on bottom - 1/2 plate on top) which is the same
as 3 studs wide (3 x 2.5 plates).
James Mathis has a method to fill in the two bricks high stripe

Make sure you look at the .ldr file, those aren't 1x8 bricks but rather 1x8
tiles on their sides.
Note: This work also ties in the Micro stripe work as well.
