Awsum!

Light Bley... Hmmmmm, love that color professor! Anyway, Great tutorial!

Thanks for the technique, Prof. I found that using jump plates for the base of interior walls solves some critical problems when using hinge pieces to create angled walls inside either a building, moon base, or spaceship. Using either smooth hinge or click hinge pieces to create angled interior walls creates a problem of having those walls meet flush with other walls and also with getting the "just perfect" angle. the "1/2 stud offset" created by using these jumper plates at the base solves this problem, most of the time - depending upon the angle. I got the idea while reading your tutorial and wondering how this technique you are showing could be used in space ship building.

Oooh, oooh, oooh, could this be used for space ship building, Professor? I bet it could! Let me think... ... ... *fizzle* *schnap* *burnout* uugghh, I can't figure it out. But I bet someone smarter than me could figure it out. Would I still get extra credit if I figured it out but sent in my work a few months late?

oh Wow ... i LUV that main pic ! ... and that minifig in the second pic (or 3rd) is hallarious !!! ... omg, i was laughin' for about 5 minutes ... *Whew* ... btw, check out my 9 ft 6 inch tower and tell me wat ya think at http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/96166 ... Thx =)

I'm sorry I'm late. Can't I just copy the homework off of Kelso or Heather (You know that's how Phipson got his done). Seriously, very nice. I'm going to try this in my next castle MOC. Thanks and keep 'em coming!

I dont get it. I dont see any changes in all the pics but the last. Everything lines up to a 1:1 ratio. What do the jumpers do?

oooohhh!! Some tips for building towers...I may have to use these....thanks Professor.

Sorry I'm late. I was watching the girl's volleyball team string some guy up by his Jockey shorts. What'd I miss? Oh, and I brought you an apple Mr. Eggy, can you help me out with my work after class?

You are an inspiartion to us all man!

HEY! Just cause I xeroxed these hall passes at kinkos doesn't mean they're not still good! I've been busy in the gym checking out the girls vollyball team... I'm sure teachers pet Kelso took good notes here. I'll just steal them when I take his milk money after class. And Garth... NO MERCY! (Thanks for the tips Professor. Been off for a couple of days, Gotta go check out your other update post.) ~ Chris.

Is Chris still in the girls bathroom? Anybody seen him? He is late for class again.

Stop it! Quit!...Professor, I don't know what he's got in mind, but Garth keeps grabbing my underwear!

wow im impressed! check out some of ny latest mocs if u have the time

Interesting... I might find a use for this. Even if I don't, it's still a great technique. I love all of your lessons, Professor! Keep them coming!

Interesting. Thanks for the tips :)

Nice lesson Professor. I tried that technic on one of my micropolis buildings. I wanted the windows set back from the face of the building. You should sneak up behind Kelso and give him one of those super wedgies for sleeping in class. The kind that bisect his nether regions worst than the division of the Ottoman Empire. see ya. garth

Okay, okay. Joking aside, this is a solid tip. Even if you're not interested in a particular scale, these jumper plates (Bricklink calls them "plate 1 x2 w/ one stud") help to create textural variation in a surface area. The hardest thing to do with LEGO is to break that square, one stud distance that EVERYTHING measures out to, and these jumper plates are great for doing just that. Thanks, Prof. (Now if I can just remember to USE this technique!)

*ZZZZZ... SNGGFF... SNORT* Phipson said she was 18!!!!! Huh? Wha?...Oh...uh, yeah. One stud plates, right... yes, great idea professor. Thank you. They're just the right tool for the... for the... twwwrrrr...*ZZZZZ*

Though I still sometimes miss my castle days, space has always been cut out for me. Still, my castles were still mighty popular even though I usually never used 1/2. Good day

Neat techniques used here, your boring lectures may actually help me someday...(Kidding...) Thanks for the great ideas!

Cool! I'm just confused on what you mean by 1/2 offset and stuff.

Man, I wish you'd done this six months ago...Then again, if you did this six months ago I wouldn't be an example. =)
