What do you think of this use of Lego pieces for making INTERIOR CORRIDOR gates for gaming Stargate and other games in 15mm?

Of course, they would need to be "aged" a bit …

Many interior doorways were rather low:

Thoughts?

Hmmmm i could really use a couple of the ones in the center of the first two photo's with gray sloped sides, ill see what i can find on e-bay thanks for the idea.

The gray sloped pieces are 75 degrees one the front side. The cross "plates" pieces are 4 dots long. The tiles capping the door should have been a single piece across, but I only had 2 tiles that were each 2 dots long.

Fred12df,

Do you mean the last of the 3 Lego pics, or the last of the example pics (the last location pic, with the vacationing couple?

@ Cacique Caribe If you see any more please point me in the right direction, when i checked on ebay and done a search for LEGO i just got thousands of mixed piece auctions or new box sets.

This is the exact one I ordered:

auction

If you do a search for "Lego slope 75 degrees", you'll get a lot more results. Look for those that are 3 in height.

Once you are in the Lego category of the vendor of YOUR choice, first sort by price, and then look for:

- Plate
- Tile

This will give you results you can use for the cross pieces above the door. Pick from those that are 4 across and 1 wide, like these examples here (these are from random vendors):

For "plate"
auction

For "tile"
auction

Please let me know how that works for you.
