maiq the liar Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Now, i want a mountain for albrickuerque, but i don't have enough BURPS, LURPS or Normal bricks in the right colors to build one...Anyone know a alternative? Quote
iamded Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Build it sideways? Use large plates as the main structure, and stick them vertically, popping it in between the studs. That could be another way. :-) ~Peace Quote

That could be another way. :-) ~Peace I agree with my archenemy/friend/victim here, using studs sideways is a great way to save bricks by using plates on angles. The studded look makes it look more "terrainy" too. Hate to reference my own stuff, but my Batbrick Cave used this, and I think it worked well, as I had little black bricks left. Hope that helps!

maiq the liar Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) Although things get a bit sticky when it comes to making terrains minifigs can stand on (it produces small outcroppings)...And wouldn't there be stability issues?...Plus i have few large plates free (mainly because i don't like taking my sets apart because in my opinion, what i build isn't what i'd like. (of course, i could be setting ridiculous standards on myself, expecting a 13-year old to build like a AFOL...) Edited January 13, 2008 by maiq the liar Quote

But you could make some small normal outcroppings using those hinge peices. You know, the 2x1 clips that can rotate 90 degrees. Also, stability can be an isssue, so use colours of bricks you don't want to use under it to stabilise it, so they remain hidden :-) Batbrick is Back! >:-) Quote
maiq the liar Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 Oh wait, you ment putting baseplates on a slope? Quote
Batbrick Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Oh wait, you ment putting baseplates on a slope? Yeah, I reckon it could work, it worked for me :-) Batbrick is Back! >:-) Quote
Brickadier General Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 A mixture of green duplo, and basic green/brown/grey bricks might work well. Quote
