The Brick-brick mutilation is based on a repetitive masonry pattern on the
side of a 1x4 brick. The 1x4's can either be staggered (crossing lines when
stacked) or vertically stacked. If staggered then a 1x2 is needed as well
for the ends.

Also if you want to wrap around a corner then the 2x4 would be better suited
than the 1x4. However there would need to be several permutations of
mutilated bricks to make it a robust system; front & left, front & right,
and front only pattern 2x4's and front only pattern 2x2's. So for now I'll
settle on just 1x4's to see what it looks like in real life.

BTW Tony Hafner was kind enough to create the .dat file for this element.

Very cool idea. I would love to see some ABS examples! (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.arch)
