Starwars4J Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I was recently browsing Classic-Space.com When I came across this thread which linked to a Lugnet guide to commonly used SNOT techniques which you can download here Some fascinating things in it, and while I knew many of the techniques, I found many new ones that I wasn't familiar with. I now have great inspiration for this new fighter I've been working on... Enjoy :-) SNOT On! (hm, just doesn't sound as good for this topic :-P ) Quote

xenologer Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Nice paper About 3/4 of the techniques listed I allow myself to use, the others I consider 'Out of System'. (mostly the stuff involving technic pins going into studholes) And there are 2 very intersting constructions I know, which were not listed... I dont have a camera on me... so lets try and describe them, if someone here understands, feel free to build it and put a picture. Ever wonder the signifigance of the bars on this pieces? Why they are spaced so odly? Well, take two of these cliplights, and put on on each bar (studs facing up, one sticking out on each side) Then rotate them 90 degrees so each one hangs downwards. 3 sideways plates now fits perfectly between them. example: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=171948 This next one, was spotted on someones website -Sorry but I lost it, if you know who you are, Speak Up. Lets you get a solid diagonal SNOT needs: 2headlights O a standard 2*1 XX and the wierd plate w handles: stack em like this: _O XX O_ so theres a headlight brick on the top right of the 2*1 and a headlite brick on the bottom left of it now the plate with handles, will let it's rods fit perfectly into the holes in each headlight at a very unusual, but solid diagonal angle.
