martinsuper Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 How tall is this in bricks? I'm guessing ten or so? I remember the great debate that errupted when I asked how long the rope bridge was... -Super Quote
Admiral M Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 On bricklink, it says it is 11.33 studs high. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 If that is the same size as the one in the original Hogwarts, it is indeed eleven normal bricks: and one plate: tall. Quote
mediaprobe Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) What kind of SUPER MOC are you making? Edited July 15, 2009 by mediaprobe Quote
Darth Legolas Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 What kind of SUPER MOC are you making? Please only make comments that are helping with the discussion. I'm sure he'll tell you though. It would be simpler if each step was one brick high, or at least 2 plates high, but no, they are their own strange measurement. I'd say eleven something or other. Go for that. Quote
Millacol88 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Clone O'Patra is right. 0.33 bricks equals one plate, therefore 11.33 bricks high equals 11 bricks and one plate. Quote
martinsuper Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 What kind of SUPER MOC are you making? I thought that was funny, don't let the LEGO Sith knock you down! Oh... I'm building... something..... big. It will appear in the pirate forum in the next couple weeks at the latest. ANOTHER QUESTION? But if you remove the top mount, doesnt a new set of stairs plug in directly to make it exactly 11 bricks? Meaning you could plug these together as high as you want to go, right? Quote
Clone OPatra Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 If you mean what I think you mean, yes, if you've got the stairs, you can make the staircase at tall as you want, or as short as you want. It just happens that the staircase in the Hogwarts castle is 11 bricks and one plate, but you build the staircase, so you can make it however tall you want it to be. Quote
blueandwhite Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) ANOTHER QUESTION?But if you remove the top mount, doesnt a new set of stairs plug in directly to make it exactly 11 bricks? Meaning you could plug these together as high as you want to go, right? Let's get to it. First, to increase the height of the staircase you neeed to remove both the top and bottom mounts. These shouldn't be considered when adding a 1/2 revolution on your staircase. Each staircase assembly is 11 & 1/3 high. This includes both the top and bottom plates ( & ), two stair axles ( ) which are held together by a technic pin, and 16 risers or stairs ( ). The assembly without the bottom and top plate/tile with pins is 10 & 2/3 bricks tall. Each axle is 5 & 1/3 bricks tall. A single axle with a set of 8 stairs is a 1/2 revolution and the smallest spiral possible. This means that for every 1/2 revolution you add, you must raise the hight of your next floor by 5 & 1/3 bricks. These stairs are incredibly easy to use and work perfectly for medieval/pirate MOCs.

martinsuper Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 Yeah, I was going to use them in a pirate MOC. I have to get the main structure done first, and then its off to my favorite bricklink stores to purchase more than a few of these. -Super Quote
