Technique Week: Day 9
Welcome to Day 9 of Technique Week! Today I get to present to you what may be my favorite technique yet.
It's a flooring pattern! Though it's inspired by legostrator's most recent technique (which you should totally check out), it's really more closely related to my own brick wall technique than anything else. The picture shows pretty well how to make it, but I'll run through the process anyways.
First, place 2 layers of 1x4 plates, one vertical and one horizontal so they form a strip that is always 4 studs wide and each plate is offset by one stud from the next. Repeat this several times. Then, attach 1x1 tiles with clip on top to the strip as shown in the picture (the red clips are oriented horizontally, the black ones vertically). Then, attach 1x2 tiles to 1x2 plates with horizontal bar, and attach those to the clips. Now, you have several strips of an offset tile-pattern. You connect those using some headlight bricks, 1x1 bricks with stud on one side and 1x1 plates as shown in the picture to offset the strips from each other by half a plate both vertically and horizontally.
I personally love this technique and definitely plan on using it in a moc sometime soon.

I've also used this technique in an actual build, unlike most of my other ones. :P So you can see this one in action.
