Nice.
How obtrusive were the clips? Did they stick out like a sore thumb? Or did you hardly notice them?

I got a set of each along with a friend of mine, and he built this in his hotel room afterwards: I think I'm going to really like these things. |

That looks fantastic. Heck, if a hastily-built product can look good on motel carpet, I can't wait to see how it'll look on my dining table! |

So, I took my Streets set, and looked at the cover: And I tried to recreate it: My initial build, shown above, was created on the grip liner, and used almost no I-Clips on the floor level. The pieces stayed in place fine with very little slipping. However, they weren't as level as I'd like. The places where I used a spare I-Clip or an L-Clip for a wall caused the floor to be uneven. I ended up adding in more I-Clips to the floor to help keep it even across the board. The grip liner was more spongy than I expected, and I would not use it on any build with more than 2 levels, or on a professional quality display build of any size. One piece of advice that I wish I had followed more closely from the build videos is to start from the center and build your way out towards the edges. I think I would have had a much easier time planning out what sort of clips I would need, if I had done that. With this build, I used as few clips as possible, and you can see several places where the tiles don't line up as well as they should. I went back later and added more clips and that cleared up 95% of those problems. The only remaining area that was a problem was in the 2nd level diagonal to the Ramp. It would not line up properly with the back wall. The one big problem I had here was that I tried to use only a single box of clips with this build, and I found myself running short of L-Clips. I had plenty of I and T clips. When I got to the last few pieces, I ended up having to use T-Clips where I would have liked an L-Clip instead. Don't be stingy with your clips if you don't have to be. The more you add on, the more they just blend into the scene. When I finished with the build, I still had plenty of I and T-Clips, even after adding more for reinforcements. I still had a lot of tiles left as well. One of the users mentioned have a problem with the ladders. Mine punched out ok, but when I tried to assemble them, I ended up snapping one of the ladders at the side bar. Fitting the ladder hooks into the slots on the Y-supports was hit or miss. The two working ladders are fantastic though. I love how they can actually hold a miniature on a rung. Here is what it looks like with more clips added for support: |
