I saw this awesome moc on lugnet earlier in the day and I dont believe that Andreas has posted it here at CC yet. If he has, or plans to, I apologize. It is based off of a real German house. Check out the moc and the lugnet article.

Half Timbered House by Andreas Böker
WOW!
WOW, now that's a nice MOC!
It looks so much like the real building. I also like the way he added in the towers on the roof.

The talent of German builders never ceases to amaze me! This is one fantastic building. I love the use of snot to recreate the diagonal tudoring. And to think, this is only part of a larger scene.
Its too bad that there isn't a page which is dedicated exclusively to masterpieces such as this. I often miss creations such as these when searching brickshelf. Masterpieces like this one are overlooked in the wake of works which are simply 'less special'.

This is a great building. Quite impressive.
Thanks,

I don't see the snot technique. I thought the diagonals were built into the wall with bricks. Which pic can you see it in? I'm always looking for new wall techniques.Blueandwhite wrote:I love the use of snot to recreate the diagonal tudoring.

Look carefully... The diagonal black stripes are offset by 1/3 of a stud as they rise. It may not be obvious at first, so take a look at these images.JoshWedin wrote:This is a great building. Quite impressive.

There are several ways to do this, but I suspect that he has used:

or

to secure several black and white plates and tiles vertically. Again, I am not certain as to the exact way in which Andreas has affixed the diagonals.
Again, if I have confused SNOT with another term, please feel free to correct me. Hope this helps.

You are right, I completely missed that. Good eye! I am not exactly sure how it was done either, but your method would work. Wow, I am even more impressed. Oh, also you used the correct term, since SNOT stands for Studs Not On Top and that is what this is!Blueandwhite wrote:
