pogie Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 For a new temple project I was building columns using the technique first used by TLG in the Town Hall. I am not sure if it was their design or someone else's. Basically it is (2) 2x2 plates with two 1x1 bricks with studs on four sides, repeat to column height. Jumpers are placed on each side and then a tile on top of the jumper. This gives a great look but as my son points out you can just barely see the 1x1 bricks and 2x2 plates. He came up with a new design that adds in an extra layer utilizing a 1x plate and a plate with door rail. This yields a slightly larger column (just under 5 studs wide) and you can not see the inner workings at all. Old design on left, new design on right: by turd ferguson, on Flickr View of interior: Untitled by turd ferguson, on Flickr Quote

Wardancer Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Wow. I imagine this could make nice trees as well! Quote
Gunnbrikt Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Great technique, looks very effective when creating large columns. I will need to make a note of it, thanks for sharing :) Quote
