Door building techniques

[ranghaal]

Hello,

I'd like you to show all the doors I've build for my last MOC. Some of them are quite tricky, others really simple (when you don't have to figure out everything on your own and just see the result). 

 

As you can see I use a technique here quite often that allows offsets that are not fixed.

#1
Take a look at door #1. There is an extra inlet. You can put it into the frame and still move it.
The trick is that you have to have several "segments". This fixes the inlet so that it stays in place.
You could easily use this techniqe for exhibitions without worrying that something falls off.
=> the more segments, the more tight it is. Do not use only one segment.

#2
same technique, different pattern.
Note the colour usage in the outer frame: very light gray(!), light gray, yellowed light gray, bluish light grey and olive.

#3
This one is really complicated because of the alternating brick directions. Think of two levels. One is used horizontally and the other vertically to connect the corresponding bricks in the back.

#4 
Easy (once you have the pattern) to build and looks very elegant. I love this one.

#5 
It's like #3 with a little simpler form.

#6
Once again very easy to build from a picture, but it takes some time to figure out patterns that work.

 

 

Which is your favourite one?

Wow, thanks for sharing these! I could see myself using the first one with some regularity--I like the look and see a lot of customizing possibilities as well--but they are all really neat. I like that they are able to produce a small offset in the panel designs. Thanks again!

You are welcome!
Show me when you do some nice doors :-D

I won't do anything in this type of style for a few MOCs :-(
