A way to make good looking brick walls.
A way to make good looking brick walls.
This is just an idea I had one day...
I would build it in real life, but I don't have enough red 1x2 plates, so here it is in Ldraw. Take a look at let me know what you think.
It would have to be built that long, or twice as long, for it to fit prefectly within a LEGO building... This could also used as a "wattle and daub", if you use tan or yellow instead of red, and black or brown istead of grey.
Enjoy!

Re: A way to make good looking brick walls.
Hello!
That's an interesting idea. As for framework it's good. As for a brick wall it's not as good, though :-) The bricks had to be shifted, so that not two vertical grooves are put on top of each other.

I'd have to agree with jojo about how it looks as a brick wall. however, i do like the usage of snot - something i am very excited about seeing - first James's latest creations, then Alan's cool archer window - i really love seeing the use of sophisticated techniques (snot) as solutions.
looking at your wall makes me want to try a snot tudor house of the same style.

Yeah, it's not alternated, as bricks should be. It's probobly possible....
Back to the thinking board....

Do you have a picture in a jpeg format? The Bitmap doesn't work for me.

Sometimes I have toyed around with this idea in my head (W/o the grey part). If one could get enough red, dark red*, and orange 1x2 plates, I suppose a nice brick wall could be made.
*If there is such a plate in that color.
EDIT...

I think it is supposed to be a brick wall. If you look closely, you will notice that the vertical grey parts are 1x8 tilesOK, so I know that SNOT stands for "studs not on top" but i still have no idea what it is. A panel? one of those bricks with studs on the side?

If I understand your question correctly: SNOT is a technique whereby the usual orientation (studs up) is ignored. In castle, it is not used as much as in space creations.OK, so I know that SNOT stands for "studs not on top" but i still have no idea what it is. A panel? one of those bricks with studs on the side?
An excellent example of space SNOT is Phil Painter's Paladin SSA fighter:

a good example of snot in castle techniques is Travis Kunce's hunting lodge:

the 'brick wall' mentioned above is SNOT because it uses tiles on their side instead of 1x1 bricks stacked to achieve the tudor-esque effect.
