Hi All,
Although this could be called a MOC, I use the word concept because it's
just a throw together to flush out a technique...

I was looking at James Matis's Tan & White coach yesterday on brickshelf and
wanted to try a new relief technique that I saw there. The relief comes from
a row of hinged panels like Dan Parker uses on his small covered gondolas or
the side panels used on this LEGO set flatbed train car see
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4543).

This is a 6 wide at the base plate and widens to 7 wide at the base of the
windows and remains 7-wide to the top. I would like to try to taper back to
6 wide at the top with windows slightly angled. The 1/2 stud offset is
created by placing 2x 1.5x4 plate elements o**o on top of a 2x2 brick. (see

Wow, that's funny I've been working on a similar idea. I want to make a few models of the local transit trains in Atlanta (MARTA), and they are tapered at the top and bottom. with the windows tilting in a bit. It's more like the middle of the coach (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
