Technique Week II: Day 4

A second brick wall technique. This one is perhaps a bit less useful than the previous ones, but I figured it was still worth posting. Please let me know if you've seen this before!

 

Rather than placing distance between individual "bricks" as most wall techniques do, I wanted to know what would happen if the bricks were differentiated by depth instead. Here, the individual bricks in the wall are constructed using 1x2 plates with horizontal bar and 1x2 tiles. These are connected to headlight bricks or 1x1 bricks with stud on one side via robot hands, wich allows for the individual bricks to be placed at varying depths. In this example, I used three different depths with differences of roughly 1/4 of a plate (or 2 LDU). It is a rather piece intensive technique, but it yields an interesting texture and is fairly sturdy overall.

 

I have a couple more techniques left to post! I may not be able to maintain my one-a-day schedule for these last ones, but I hope I'll be able to post them soon.

Also, if you're like me and happen to have a lot of 1x2 plates with horizontal bar on hand, here's another brick wall technique that has a lot of cool possibilities, and here's a floor technique using these wonderful pieces as well.
