Mister Phes Posted April 16, 2005 SNOT - Studs Not On TopExample - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=954520 Jon. Excellent, I shall amend this to the glossary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonfett Posted April 16, 2005 Thanks Jon but I still don't get it, are SNOTs the square tiles?? SNOT (Studs not on Top) means that a surface of a model is smooth and can use tiles, so there are no studs showing. The box is a complete SNOT model as there are no studs on top anywhere. Jon.

Mister Phes Posted April 16, 2005 Or that can more simply be called "Tiles" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonfett Posted April 16, 2005 Well not really, SNOT refers to a smooth surface on a model. So a tile can be used for SNOT work but it is not necessarily SNOT by itself. Jon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 16, 2005 Ahhhhhhhh I see...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sam89 Posted April 16, 2005 I thought SNOT meant using pieces sideways or upside down (so the studs aren't on the top) *wacko* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 16, 2005 Hmmmmmm and interesting twist... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonfett Posted April 16, 2005 I thought SNOT meant using pieces sideways or upside down (so the studs aren't on the top) *wacko* Again I will link you to this SNOT box - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=954520 You can see that pieces have been stacked upwards to get the pattern on the side, this is SNOT work. But you can also see that the top is all tiles, which is also SNOT work. SNOT means that an area of the model has no studs, so it can be sideways or maybe upside down, but it is generally an area of the model and not just one piece (ie. a tile). I hope I don't have to do any more explaining today.. my head hurts *wacko* Jon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sam89 Posted April 16, 2005 Maybe it means both? I've heard people refer to pieces being sideays as SNOT lots of times :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 16, 2005 And I've never heard it up until now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Middleman Posted April 16, 2005 I've also heard it used as referring to sideways pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Middleman Posted April 16, 2005 LEGO has its own language with different dialects! That's very dandy, but it's getting a bit confusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 16, 2005 And that's why I've created a glossary thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted April 16, 2005 And that's why I've created a glossary thread. Which is even more confusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 16, 2005 And how does it confuse you young lad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted April 16, 2005 And how does it confuse you young lad? People arguing this way and that about what SNOT means and the quality of BURPs. *wacko* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 16, 2005 Its quite simple really. Just read my first post at the top and pay no attention to the debating below. Any word submitted in the thread will be updated in that first post so there's no need to read the entire thread. And of course as I'm king I get to decide what makes the glossary and what doesn't. Hmmm... Why do I feel regicide coming on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted April 16, 2005 Well of course SNOT stands for stud-not-on-top but does that mean that it's FLAT on top or does that mean that the stud is on the side/bottom/whatever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xwingyoda Posted April 16, 2005 Come on guys, this was again a funny joke, Why would I want to edit any of you (except when its really needed, that means probably never).
