Freddie Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 It does not work though, there's no lead leading from the battery box to the engine.... *sweet* Those wheels rotate independently from each other, so a missing cable would obviously be the least of worries. But if they had a cable in the first place they would have noticed... Quote
Flatfoot Thompsen Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Please excuse me if this sounds stupid but, what does SNOT stand for? Quote
Freddie Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Please excuse me if this sounds stupid but, what does SNOT stand for? According to the EB glossary; Studs not on top. Quote
BerndDasBrot Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) @ Freddie: I wanted to post the same but you beat me...! But I could have sworn that I once saw a topic called "What is SNOT" or something like that, couldn't find it though... Edited April 13, 2008 by BerndDasBrot Quote
iamded Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Here That is fantastic, entertaining, interesting, and overall a must-read for all Lego fans! Thanks for bringing this to my attention Freddie! ~Peace Quote
BerndDasBrot Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Here That is fantastic, entertaining, interesting, and overall a must-read for all Lego fans! Thanks for bringing this to my attention Freddie! ~Peace I just read the ppt and I have to say two things: 1: That is fantastic, entertaining, interesting, and overall a must-read for all Lego fans! Thanks for bringing this to my attention Freddie! ( yeah! it's really true!) 2: but IMHO you only have to obey if you want to play with your models. So for MOCing, taking apart and MOCing again: just break the rules 3: I didn't know that the "LEGO"-logo would be "such a problem"...! 4: Has this been an offical ppt or fanmade? 5: oh. two things too many. nevermind Quote
snefroe Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 While browsing the instruction scans on brickfactory I stumbled upon an alternate model of one of the waggons of 7727 and noticed that it used SNOT: (Click thumb for larger picture) I know that that "Legal techniques" builders guide mentions the USS Constellation as an example which is a set from the late 1970s. But I don't really consider what they used ("sticking" a gray 1x2 plate between two studs) SNOT as we know it today. This waggon, though, IMO clearly is SNOT. Just wanted to point it out since I didn't expect to see something like that in a 1980s set... Anybody know of anything SNOTty that old? Or older? SNOT is soooooo much older. take a look at a majority of the sets from the Lego family, mid 70's... practically everything was SNOT back then Quote
Freddie Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 4: Has this been an offical ppt or fanmade? Jamie Berard, the guy behind the modular buildings, created that ppt. He made it after he was hired at LEGO, so you could say that it's official, but it's just as much fanmade. Quote
BerndDasBrot Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 ah alright, thanks. I somehow felt that TLG with their playabiltity (?) had some kind of influence. Mainly the part with: "A Massive Migraine for Design Lab!!" yop. I don't want to see a 7 year old trying to put some SNOTty hinge-top-plates together... Quote
