also bonus offset steps. Stepping by 1/8th plate. (1 LDU) I didn’t believe Tim’s Claim that the neck bracket has a thickness of 3/8th of a plate. The part on the left shows that to be true.
 

Offset Steps

Jonathan Gale ( 2021-03-08, flickr.com )
I’ve seen a few things like this over the years that would take about 10 steps to make a change of 1 stud width. I decided to challenge myself with this version that would take 40 steps to make a change of 1 brick width. Each step is approximately 0.5 LDU. Over this range of 16 steps the difference is only the thickness of a plate. This relies on combining a few known offset techniques. The base takes advantage of technic bricks having a hole position slightly different to 1×1 brick modified with stud on one side. By having 4 technic bricks oriented one way and another 4 oriented upside down to them it gets that offset in both directions. The 3LDU version of the minifigure neck bracket is also used to get another set of divisions.

What makes a building technique to be advanced? There is no easy answer, advanced is just the way we, adults, feel some building techniques because they do not appeared, at least do not appeared widely, in the officials LEGO® building instructions.
