Question about steck
« on: June 03, 2010, 20:51:28 »
Well, I am in the process of designing my new medieval  sets  with all my latest additions of 3666s, town houses, trees, klickies etc . I am considering some new steck castle designs and the need for a 4 way connector is more than ever . Has anyomne ever tried to creat one by for example cutting and putting together existing 2 or 3 way connectors ??? any ideas ??? any idead than may involve drilling ?

I have ideas, but havent tried them yet.

If you cut of the two connector parts of a 90 degree connector, and manage to glue them on a T you could make a fourway connector. It need to be nice straight cuts and I havent looks at getting the right glue and stuff yet.

Here's to Theory!

maybe Macgayver has some tips?

Gioerginetto here is the piece that will answer all our prayers....



its this one: 30 05 3070 - Wall Connector, 4-way female

and here are a few more pictures...





Now, the question is, where do we find this piece in great quantities??? And will it be so usefull as we hope it to be? I can see a big area, just above the four way cross, between the four slots for the toats... that might be tricky...

Thanks for the photo, Panos - I have heard this part mentioned, but never seen a pic of it or known what sets it comes from

Ah, the 3716 farm - so many unique Steck parts :love:

* Gis wants!

Thanks for posting WK!

Has anyone tried customizing the 3666 main gate? I hate that the edges are 90 backwards...would like them 90 forward.

What a great idea Gis!!! I think it cannot be done though as the 30 07 6300 - Drawbridge platform is made only to fit the inward construction...

Or you might build a bit more inward and then turn the walls outward again and have the round towers more out than the main gate...

Well how many main gates does a castle/town need. I think the platform could do with a little bit of customization as well!

Just awaiting the castle to arrive before I will have a serious look at it!

Usually a medieval city had two gates Westgate and Eastgate...And they would surely have anything between 4 to 8 smaller gates... again depends on the territory...

* Gis nods at WK

However Winterhaven (town I am making) is really very small (and has only one gate according to the city map!

OK I promise I will make sure to have 3 fully functional gates before I start customizing *grin*
