Twisted Column

The twisted column was originally created as a way to organize my 1x2 jumper plates by color.


Start by placing two jumper plates side by side to make a 2x2 square.


Place another jumper plate across the studs formed by the 2x2 square.


Place two more to build up the column.


Continue placing additional plates in twos to create the column.

Waves - 4 and 6

I was playing around with some pieces that are used in one of the airplane sets to create a "wavy" looking enclosed structure. Have not really thought of anything more complex to do with this model yet.


4 waves joined together to make a square.


6 waves form a rectangle.


Adjust the waves, and get more of a circle.

Hexa-base

I was looking at some different pieces and noticed that I could combine six of R2-D2's legs to make a hexagon type structure. Using this as a base, I made a few different structures.


The base hexagon structure.


A box.


Change around the box, and you get a snow flake.


Using some "wings," create a cone. I had to use 3 pairs since I did not have 6 of one side.


Again, flip around the wings and make a star. This is my favorite of these models. I have been trying to figure out a larger creation to integrate this in, but so far have not come up with anything.
