That's the princilpe, after which I built my bridge.

Try to make all connections in a way which avoids strong shear forces (glue usually can't endure much of shear forces). Therefore also try to do with as few connections as possible, the connections are weak points. In my bridge all plain surfaces between the struts were reinforced by cardboard which especially helped the pressure loaded struts not to buckle and break. Maybe you can accomplish this by adding zigzag struts or crossings.

Reminds me of the time he bragged about some car sports shots he took with a 50mm f1.8 prime lens from about 20 meters away. Fucking great action shots of some blurry shit followed up with some sycophantic bullock about the chap driving the thing.

Knob.
