Today we’re looking at several “SNOT” base techniques. For those unfamiliar with the term, “SNOT” means “Studs Not On Top” and is a building technique that uses pieces on their sides or at different angles, compared to building normally by stacking bricks on top of one another.
The examples shown are at a smaller scale and fit for a single scene, but this technique can be scaled up and used for larger MOCs as well. Each example successfully uses a SNOT technique to create a distinct base for their scene—and in some cases, two bases!
For natural landscapes, sloped pieces in a variety of sizes will be your friends. Pair them with curved or wedged plates, either layered on top or even integrated into the slope, to add subtle changes.
