Baseball bat building built from bricks!

We’ve got a LEGO build here from Jonah Schultz and I gotta say he’s knocked it out of the park! His microscale skyscraper is all about bats that were only available in a minifigure pack from 2018. The minifigure bats make up most of the outer structure of the skyscraper, but did you notice that the power-line poles are bats as well? The sneakiest use of the bat is for that tiny tanker truck. The building isn’t the only heavy hitter; That whole road network below the building is brick-built. The dashed lines between the lanes are made from brackets embedded deeper into the road. Back to the building, did you notice how those bats make a diamond shape? Can’t be an accident when this build is a home run!

    Great concept, amazing what a clever idea can do with few relatively simple building techniques!

    The dashed lines between the lanes, however, are not “made from brackets embedded deeper into the road” but rather (and far more simply) from hinge bricks:
    – 3937 “Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Base” in dark bluish grey
    – 3938 “Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Top Plate” in white
    You can notice it from the white parts impinging half a plate’s thickness on the two studs wide dark grey parts next to them. 3937 is the only 1×2 piece 2 1/2 plates high, so the dark grey part must be that. Knowing that, it makes a lot more sense to just clip on a white top than to add a far more complicated construction with a bracket. Finally, the top of brackets, which is what is visible in the diorama, is rounded off (see in your link for the bracket), whereas the dashed lines are in fact cut off rectangularly, so the designer can only have chosen 3938.

    I think the dashed lines are part 3937 (dark bley) + 3938 (white). Otherwise it does not easily add up to 6 plates as you would need to change build direction or introduce another bracket with limited space. Also the corners are not rounded.
