Great idea, Drucifer! I need to start taking notes when I'm here.

Well, there's already a spriral staircase and a spiral candelabra, but I think my design is suffieciently different to warrant posting.

It's also a spiral staircase, built around a little MOC. The full view of the MOC:

And a few of close-ups of the stairs:

And finally a link to the gallary.

Hope you like it!

This is most ingenious Radz! I may use this idea, if you don't mind. (Not for the contest, of course)

I agree, that is a beautiful spiral staircase! I would worry about clumsy figs tripping on the part of the arm that sticks out from under the stair surface, but it makes such a nice spiral I almost hate to even bring it up!

Thanks! Of course, go right ahead, I think these things are for sharing techniques using unusual pieces, etc. If anyone asks, tell 'em where you got the idea!

Thanks! Aesthetically I found the stairs looked best with the bars filling in the gaps to some extent; otherwise it looked scarily unstable. Besides, if the minifig's foot is near the bar sticking out, its arm must be on the banister, so no worries about the tripping

Here's an other little idea I got a few days ago, but I now I've taken a photo:

Cool fence/cage deal jens. I like it alot, and might use it in a moc (not for this contest obviously) if you don't mind.

Please do so! This is the reason we share our ideas here, I thought. Main thing you show pics of your version.

regards,
jens

Hey guys,

Some really clever ideas in this thread. My favorite is probably the candelabra (I'd love to see that in a large cathedral MOC), but all were very cool. Great to see that a stereotypically spacey part could find application in castle creations.

Thanks Bruce.

I could definitely see the candelabra in a cathedral MOC.
