Bridging the Table Gap Part TWO

 In Part ONE, I explained the problem I am trying to solve and what my solution is.  Now I am going to take it a step further.

Here I have built a portion of a cliff over the double hinge.  The right side is four studs wide and the left side is one stud wide.  You can also see how the single stud wide left side slides up and down from the discontinuity in the picture.

Here the hinge is separated and the left and right side are connected to the modules that they will join together.

It was at this point I decided that a single stud width of a full cliff was not going to work.  Transporting and assembling that would be very difficult.  Rebuilding it at every show would be time consuming and not practical.  So I made it two studs wide.  While that may not sound like a lot, in the Brick world that is a  100% improvement in structure stability.  

The final result from the front.  I used several layers of cardboard to simulate the table gap.  From experience it has taken about this thickness of cardboard to attempt to compensate for the table gap, mostly unsuccessful since the remainder of the MOC would have to elevated also.

I have pointed out the discontinuity.  It goes together nicely, but the connection is not on an even stud count.

As this picture shows the 2 x 4 sand green tile is not lined up and the vertical distance is not an even stud distance either.  Thus there is no way to use plates or tiles to secure the connection.  What is holding it together is the bar/clip arrangement that was discussed in Part ONE.
