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.

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.

I never tire of seeing these MOC's. I only wish I was capable of making such beautiful structures!

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'.

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.
Thanks,
Josh

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.

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!
Thanks for pointing this out,
Josh
