Nachapon Bricks

To reinforce the removable new roof: Use long brick ,technic brick or plate to connect the current slopes inside. Same method as lego design and real roof. Just the lower edge may a bit fragile because connect on top studs only.(Can be reinforced by plate or plate with rail/slide form bottom.) (For existing sets, necessary new parts can be sold as a roof upgrade kit with building instruction.)

Thank you 'hrontos', I am really glad you enjoy them. You missed "But two moulds for straight continuous".(or three?) I will make a pic for this soon.(type B/C mirrored/same end) I think the new roof is very useful/ more realistic/ better look, too. It can be apply to upgrade all house models (For existing sets, necessary new parts can be sold as a roof upgrade kit with building instruction). No need to chang all slopes to new parts, just the roof edge. The current slope is good help for reinforce the roof structure inside. Most ideas came when current Lego can not build the shape I desired very well. The new roof is combination of slope + invert slope. Please help me promote this part if you have a chance, thank you.

Add round tile(with growth rings decal) to log cabin bricks. Going to add white snow roof smooth on both side, comming soon. pic size (1600 x 1087) My link

Solid & Continuous Arch V2. No more half stud and hollow arch. But two moulds for straight continuous. My link pic.

Thanks for great idea about removeable roof. May I borrow some of your words to post in cuusoo? http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/23674 Aanchir @ Eurobricks suggested: "This new roof system will be 100% removeable without the use of any tiled portions in the construction of the walls. It would be a great feature for Friends and Creator houses." Roof tile edge and corner realistic pieces.(2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 2x8) The roof edge extend offset from wall can be 0-?? studs.

Thank you for nice suggestions. Yes, those corners are too sharp and I forgot to blunting them (as cheese slope). Please see the update version above.

Roof tile edge and corner realistic pieces.(2x2, 2x3, 2x4) http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/23674 This method can be apply to smooth roof tile system and all other angle (include corner & corner inside) of all roof tile elements. roof tile edge and corner realistic pieces new part design by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Thanks. Just found that most of the brick colors are wrong (gold chrome). Fix and make a new pic at same link above.

The focal blur one is my favorite. Very very realistic.

Thank you very much, Superkalle. Ridge tiles (or all 6 new parts) of smooth slope design can be come with engrave for crowbar. Because the engrave will be hidden when make a roof. This make them easier to be disassembled than current lego's ridge tiles.(while fully attach to bigger element) It should be nice if exchange ridge tiles with normal flat tiles. The top of the roof will become gold brick shape. roof tile smooth slope system new part design 5 by Nachapon S., on Flickr

That is a good option. This arch part may have low clutch power problem, especially at bottom join which cannot be reinforced, Maybe the half studs should help a bit. Thanks 'Superkalle' and other guys for very nice suggestions and discuss . I design parts just for fun and didn't think much. It would be good if one of them become product wheater I make money or not. Roof Tile Round Corner Outside: (Corner inside comming soon.) http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/23343 This method can be apply to smooth roof tile system and all other angle (include invert & corner inside) of all roof tile elements. roof tile round corner by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Continuous Arch (brick with bow) This method can be apply to all other arch/ brick with bow elements. My link pics.

new brick one mould only by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Thanks, and good found that it's still two moulds. Below is true only one mould which opposite pattern are mirrored. Only the pattern at all left side corners are imperfect.

Calabar said: PS: you told you used AA and the screenshot seems to use advanced graphics. I made some test time ago, and I was not able to use AA and Advanced Graphics together. What kind of AA did you use? I can not use AA and Advanced Graphics together, neither. Hi-res screenshot is good for complicate model.

My cuusoo project #24. New design V2, only one mould (or add 1x3, 1x4), no need corner pieces, more minifig scale, better patern shape. brick2 by Nachapon S., on Flickr

My flickr account reach 200 pic limmit so some pic not show. I will fix it and explain to you soon.

Thanks, DLuders. This is a multi-monitor screen shot capture by Snipping tool, iconia W500 + ipad3 = 4M SS 2848x1536. I leave the LLD interface for easier to see the SS size. System with 4 full-HD multi-monitor should make a 4K SS(3840x2160, 8M+ pixels), or a 8k width SS (7680x1080), maybe. Chess model build by Aanchir.

Some ipad 3 apps can make ipad screen become secondary display of PC or Mac, ie idisplay. Run LDD on ipad3 screen then can take retina resolution 3M+ 2048x1536 screen shot with AA on. Not sure the new Mac book with retina can take 5M pixels LDD screen shot or not? new ipad 3M+ pixels retina LDD screen shot 2048 x 1536 by Nachapon S., on Flickr

New 1x2 profile brick (brick pattern engraved) with corner pieces. Can build stronger structure while keep good looking engraved brick pattern on both side. (The Lego's one can not) lego.cuusoo.com_ideas_view_2750 brick by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Thanks for make this nice update so quick. The flex elements look much better now. Version 1.2 the bevels of flex elements base still shown black? (middle one)

Great update! Quick try the new features and they work very well. The flex elements looks a bit flat shade/ cell-shade. Is it normal?
