Adeel Zubair Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) I reckon I've come up with a new building technique using a 30134 - Staircase 7x4x6 as rafters. I apologise in advance if this technique has been posted before. The advantages of using a 30134 - Staircase 7x4x6 piece in this context is allowing the roof to be structurally stronger and they also represent the wooden rafters that go diagonally across a typical roof.

mikeright Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) GPU! I've not seen it done before, but it works phenomenally well indeed. LEGO loves using those stairs, so this is a great way to use them up. The chair looks like you could sink right into it. Edited January 15, 2017 by mikeright Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AFOLguy1970 Posted January 17, 2017 This is an excellent usage for this piece. It appears to add structural support to roofs done in this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaderFan2187 Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Wow! Extremely clever part usage! That almost looks like that piece was designed for that purpose! Edited January 17, 2017 by VaderFan2187 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted January 17, 2017 Thanks for sharing. This is a great idea, and I finally found a way to use those stairs again. The effect of rafters is very authentic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
