A place to demonstrate the 'technical' aspects of building with LEGO. Think of it as a visual library of SNOT ideas, build techniques, guides etc. It's not for models just small examples (unless of course the two are the same). Read the guidelines
Today, we’ll be going over some basic (and advanced) techniques that’ll give you everything you need to take your train MOCs to the next level! Click to read!
One of our favorite roof techniques! YouTube Video Walkthrough Some facets of this have been dabbled in before by various builders, but we think this is the first time the staggering of individual tiles, the offset of every other row, and the clean yet random joint at the top has been done. Anyways, we hope you like it, but feel free to tag or mention so we can credit people who've done various versions of this before. :) Please feel free to visit our Facebook page:
This constantly growing collection lists different SNOT techniques. It also gives you a list of parts so you can recreate the technique.
Brick profile walls are pretty common in many types of buildings. So it’s a pretty well-explored topic in the AFOL community. One of the most popular way to build a brick wall is called Marakoeschtra’s wall (see illustrations from brickup.de below). Brick-profile Brick Walls In recent years, Lego has also came out with …:
Useful LEGO build techniques and info, put into a tidy gallery for reference later.
There are many ways to build LEGO roofs, from simple to complex, using a variety of LEGO pieces and techniques. Learn some interesting methods and also share your own!
Today we're sharing two fantastic wall techniques that feature no gaps through clever part use! This is actually pretty hard to do when creating angled or circular walls, and it's all achieved through simple parts that have been cleverly arranged.

Take a deep dive into SNOT as we analyze the geometry, look at some basic building techniques and expose some hidden pitfalls of LEGO SNOT.
Today we're discussing 3 ways to create spheres in LEGO. They are as follows: 1. using inverted dishes, flower studs and SNOT bricks to create small spheres, by umamen on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/umamen/23999220611/ 2. using SNOT bricks, plates and jumpers plates to create a studded, rounded sphere, by Bruce Lowell: http://www.brucelowell.com/lowell-sphere/instructions/ 3. using SNOT bricks to position curved slopes to create smooth, rounded spheres, by JaydenIrwin on Eurobricks: h
