Talk:SNOT techniques

These look lots better with the borders and frames and captions, don't they!

If you are wanting to have the layout break and start over, (dunno if you do or not) use the Template:clear if you need to. Hope that helps. ++Lar 24 July 2005 11:15 (Eastern Daylight Time)

Ok. Yes I wish to make a better layout but as I'm still working on renderings and more text I'll make a better layout a bit later Didier

Needs a "SNOT 90" section

We need a section on "SNOT 90". The article as it stands gives hints as to how to actually attach things at 90 degrees, but it'd be nice to have some good techniques actually spelled out, as in the SNOT 180 section.

For example, if I want to have some SNOT handles sticking out from a wall as in this locomotive, how would I do that? I know the builder's employing the 5:2 rule (because he said so on LUGNET), but you still need some way to attach the sideways parts to the rest of the model so they don't fall out. The SNOT 90 section should tell readers how to do that.

I've just reorganised the article, separating it into different levels of SNOT difficulty and making it match other articles a little more. There are so many different SNOT 90 techniques it is hard to decide what should go on. I'll make a diagram with a little collection of them sometime soon. As for the mentioned technique, I think it should go under Advanced techniques as it is quite complicated. Tim 11:08, 17 August 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

PS. And the builder was being very modest when he said he was using the 5:2 rule. It certainly goes beyond the 5:2 rule as I learnt it ;-)
