Don't know how useful it may be, but here it is.
See psiaki's note below in comments:
-Just tried this with ltgrey and bley hinges. The plates without axle holes tend to be a much tighter connection, could stress the hollow studs on those old plates. The ones with axle holes fit much easier.-
Other than a grainy, poorly lit photo. :)
The upside is that the rings are flush with one another at the intersection points, thanks to the plate hinges attached below the bricks.
The downside is that the points where the rings meet has no attachment point, as they're joint spots. If that makes sense.
Could be useful if someone far smarter than I were to apply it somehow.

Another lesson from the book of "Chris's Lessons Learned": test hinge placements before drilling on your project.
The measurements for these were all in millimeters, so it does not convert perfectly to inches sadly. I had some issues also with my drill press keeping tension, so I will have to open up the press and adjust the tension belts.
Better to test, test, test, and learn from mistakes on dummy wood than your final project!

Year Twelve Of My 365 Project
Submitted to the "Blue" assignment in Dave & Dave's class. Well, I guess technically it's not ALL blue... but I'm pretty sure it used to be.
This is a detail shot of door hinges on the south side door. It seems that the nails and hinges held the red paint as the wood siding bleached. When I titled this, I was thinking that history hinges on stories of the winners. That's notwithstanding the story of the Minoans. Sheesh, the history of the Point o' Pines is slipping away, as is summer travel in the Rockies when people lingered at such mountain lodges.
I have popped up shots of the place earlier. eDDie and I were scouring the old Point o' Pines livery stable for shots of interest. I could have spent twice the time lingering about searching detail. I am popping up some of the detail shots for a new/old series I retrieved from the eDDie jet trip. I don't know if I was following eDDie that day or he was, in essence, following me. I have shot the stable before but then, I usually feel that I left shots behind no matter where I visit, eDDie's or my venues.
The stable, sheathed in asphalt, still exists at the lower Ferncliff-Allenspark bypass turnoff and has really easy access. The stable sits atop a rise clearly visible from the intersection. This is not the same intersection where one can get guitar lessons from the devil. As I remember hearing, one life was lost when the Point o' Pines Lodge burned to the ground. The old steel bed frames are still stashed in the old stable, strange bed fellows. Nob and tube wiring was run to a shelter behind the stables. This has a wealth of texture and patina. Ahhh, what a combination of an old, dry wooden Point o' Pines lodge and smoking guests. What could go wrong? Probably not the work of the devil and it might have been the result of a kitchen fire. After I posted my original shots on Flickr, I saw three cars parked around the stable and have given it a wide berth since.
This hinge was on an old box car that the farm used to store items next to their grain silos. I know that the farm is around 100 years old and this box car has to be near that old. I'm not a train expert, but when I went online looking up wooden box cars I didn't see any that had doors that open this way. Most of the doors slide on a rail and don't open out on a hinge like this one. It was pretty cool find.

There wouldn't be no sin,

And leave the good stuff in."

The hinge to my car door, a Ford Focus :-/
Again, messing around with my mobile phone and it's apps - This one was from Vigenette (Android)
So I finally finished it!
For those that haven't seen TheBrickLark's take on the suit, I'd highly recommend checking it out and following him, he is an exceptional customiser!
The torso is a modified Nexo Knights Axl.
The shoulder launchers were made out of epoxy.
The gauntlets out of spare stud launcher hinges.
The helmet is a normal helmet and Mr Freeze visor with cut up swords for the bunny ears ;)
And of course, it was painted by me (though there are still places that need touching up/finishing; like the batsymbol)
Will post alternate angles soon :)
