Hello everyone,
I am currently building a LEGO model of a real funicular railway in BrickLink Studio.
I have already designed most of the car myself, including the windows, doors and roof. However, I am struggling with one particular part of the body: the sloped lower section of the side walls.
Because the real car operates on a steep incline, the body has an unusual geometry. I would like to reproduce this as cleanly as possible with actual LEGO parts, rather than simply creating a staircase shape with ordinary bricks.
What I am looking for is a buildable LEGO technique for the sloped side wall, possibly using wedges, inverted slopes, hinges, SNOT construction, or another technique that I have not considered.
I have attached pictures of my current Studio model and the problematic area.
I am not looking for somebody to redesign the entire model – I would mainly appreciate ideas for solving this sloped section cleanly while keeping the side walls and windows close to my existing design.
Any suggestions for suitable parts or building techniques would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
