Merchant towns always have a few good cheesemongers, usually with a sideline in drinks. Slice the building and take a look inside!
Just another reason to drink copious amounts of beer, eat bratwursts an oversized soft pretzels.
This vignette is built on four hinged 8x8 sections that can be arranged into various configurations. I see myself reusing this technique for some Christmas vignette.
I first thought they were lingas but was corrected: these(3 of them on either side) are knobs that held the huge door, now they don't.

Stone Hinge Construction is listed as the occupant of this circa 1914 building, just of Lafayette St.
This box, designed in late 2020, is decorated with a shamrock, and folded from a single square of Tant paper. In contrast to most of my box designs, in which the lid is separate from the bottom part, this one is single-part and opens via a hinge. Two large flaps on both sides lock underneath a pleat that goes along the bottom of the box, making it possible to close the box quite neatly.
In order to limit the design to the convenient 16×16 grid, I ended up with a slit between the closed lid and the front wall. Using a slightly larger grid, it should be easy to add a small flap in front of the lid and ensure that in closed state, nothing can fall out of the box.

Another way to put a hinged box on a top is with clips. They're not as strong as Technic hinges, but have the advantage that the center of rotation is outside the box, so the lid can close neatly. Clip hinges usually require require some half-plate spacing.

Top 1: Studs up lid with fully exposed hinge, like you'd see on a pirate chest.
Top 2: Studs up with partially concealed hinge.
Top 3: Lid with studs to the left.
Bottom 1: Lid with studs to the right, exposed hinge.
Bottom 2: Lid with studs to the left, exposed hinge.
Bottom 3: Lid with studs to the left, ending in a headlight brick.

Top left: I think of this as the official LEGO hinge, as seen in sets like 40118 Buildable Brick Box. It's bulky but very strong.
Top right: Opposing modified plates joined with a pin. Fairly strong and closes neatly.
Bottom left: Opposing modified plates, without using the relatively new inverted one. The opening exactly fits two opposing cheese slopes.
Bottom right: Modified 2x2 plate pinned to a 1x2 Technic brick. Also quite strong, but leaves a gap at the back of the box.
If you want to go studs-out on five sides, here's an example using hinged plates. A bit complicated, but sturdier than the clip hinges, and about as sturdy as most of the Technic hinges.

A hot mess.
I built the port side prong first mainly to see how the hell to do it. Since it hinges on the outer edges, the inner edge increases in distance as it travels aft. I had to figure out what I was dealing with physically because my maths are not strong. Once I built it, I then figured out how to attach it to the frame. Mixel joints for the goddamn win!
Anyways, I also wanted the thing to look busy with contrasting color. Never mind the port side with the white name (BTW the good ol' Captain Tayback painted the name Vera on the other side there.) I'll rebuild that side this week. The closer side with the 33 is the one I'm pleased with. The other side became WAY too busy. I toned it back a bit for the starboard and feel it's pretty much right on target for what I intended.
I also wasn't intending to use yellow, but Kiba insisted. I'm glad she did because I think it works well with the orange and the little hits of dark yellow. The fuselage will be mostly DBG.
On 29 February a test model of Orion’s solar array was unfolded at NASA’s Plum Brook Station test facility in Sandusky, Ohio to check everything works as expected. The solar panels were made by Airbus Defence and Space in the Netherlands for the ESA module that will supply power and life support for up to four astronauts.
Each wing stretches more than 7 m, folded inside the Space Launch Systems rocket that will launch the spacecraft on its first unmanned mission in 2018. Orion sports four wings of three panels with 1242 cells per panel to provide 11.1 kW of power – enough to run two typical European households. The distinctive X-wings are an evolution and improvement of ESA’s Automated Transfer Vehicle.
The test was passed with flying colours as the 260 kg array unfurled into its flight configuration. The stresses of flying to the Moon and beyond – and back again – mean the array is designed to bend up to 60º forward and backward, much like a bird in flight.
“That broad movement meant we had to design the wing with thickened solar panels and reinforced hinges and beams, which required extensive testing,” says Arnaud de Jong, head of the Airbus Defence and Space Solar Array team in Leiden, the Netherlands.
The wing tips are expected to deflect more than a metre. A camera on each wing tip, looking back at the spacecraft, will closely monitor the movement.
Further tests will look at how the solar array handles acoustic shocks, vibrations and other shock tests in the following months.

I was curious about this rusty hinge, now inaccessible to anyone who needs to remove its pin or the hinge itself. It looks like a facade was added to the building after the door was installed.
I saw this hinge, and the door finish, and it impressed me. The finish on the door was perfect.
It looks like there are flats on the bolt-looking things.
The whole hinge looks handmade.
I'm unsure where I saw this.
