Brick Stacking Method Explanation?

[MAVERICK26]

Hello, 

I'm trying to build a TIE/wi Whisper for Rebrickable but I can't quite figure out the brick stacking method. Can someone please help me?

 

Thanks!

Hmmm? 

Can you explain a bit more what do you mean?

Sure! I'm trying to do angled wings (think 50% longer than your Interceptor) with full bricks, no exposed studs, or anti - studs. I'll put a quick picture of the current wings below:

The connection point to the cockpit is almost identical to the 75101 connections.

Alright, so:

- first, please upload this to imgur, so we can actually see it. As of now, the link does not work.
- second, please describe the exact issue you have. I know this may sound a bit rude or something, but regarding technical issues, the better the problem is described, the better can it be fixed.

Assuming this works, which I sure hope it does, you can see that the wing length is 43.0 studs long. I'm looking for a way to make it out of slope bricks so that I get no exposed studs or anti  - studs. Like I said, I would like the wings to remain proportional while still being made of bricks.

The connection point of the wings to the fuselage is remarkably simple; it's identical to the 75101 point, just different colors.

Thanks!

I'm working on it - I'm new to embedding images.

You can also use Bricksafe (I do it all the time), you just have to insert the picture properly. Click on "Insert other media", then "Image from URL", then paste your URL.

Alright - I'll do that.

I believe this link works for @MAVERICK26. It was embedded in the original link he sent - correct me if I am mistaken. Simply copy and paste the link into your browser. As for the brick stacking method, that's out of my area of expertise - I'm a stud-friendly man! Wish you the best.

No, you're correct. I was trying to embed the photo so people didn't have to click the link when visiting this thread. Thanks!

Literally all you need to do is to have a direct link to the image file - like:

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51161454103_3a602761e5.jpg

Then paste it with just ctrl+v into the post editor here.
Note: this has to have a .jpg or .png extension at the end. 

...so I just paste it down and it will magically appear as image...

Abracadabra...


Tada!

Alright, I still don't get the problem. So this here is a plate-built wing. And you wish to make it brick-built, right? So you either build upward or front-ward:

 

And that's really what there is about it. You need to figure out how to make the frames, which slopes to use to get correct angle, but ultimately you pick one of these methods as the idea and work with it. 

Experiment!
