This design is very similar to the SNOT Stone Wall<\/a> we did a tutorial on some time ago. However, with this setup, you step the wall back one tile at a time to achieve a tapering affect.<\/p>\n

For this example, we’ll step the wall back every two studs. Though when I’ve used this design in a build before, I stepped the wall back much more gradually to give a large tower a slight taper:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A simple box with some brick modified with stud to attach SNOT plates serves as the core of the walls.<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/p>\n

Then, as you might expect, layered SNOT plates and bricks give a very simple base to achieve the steps.
\nWhere the design is a little less straightforward, is handling the corners.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/p>\n

In particular, the second corner set in this example required some fiddling with to figure out a good solution.
\nEventually I realized the assembly below fills the gap nicely.<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/p>\n

As you can see here, the first row of tiles can just use a plate + brick + tile to give a nice flush fit.
\nThe second layer uses the panel + plate and a 1×2 tile (or 1×2 plate).<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/p>\n

And the third and fourth layers can just use simple plates and tiles.<\/p>\n

\"5\"<\/p>\n

Which when tiled over, looks like this. If you would prefer to not have the slight black lines showing between layers, use bley plates instead of black behind the tiles.<\/p>\n

\"6\"<\/p>\n

And you can overlap tiles to give a less uniform look to the steps.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Seeing people utilizing techniques from our tutorials is really inspiring, and encourages us to keep making them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
