Very nice to look at - must be spectacular in person. Well done!
I'm trying to figure out how to do the same offset brickwork you've done on the
corners of the building - is that a 1/5 stud offset? Obviously, you were
inspired by this photo of the actual brickwork;
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/alfredjr/Townntrain/RPI-Troy-building/zsrc-troy-columns.jpg,
and I'm looking at photos of similar architecture and trying to build, but not
sure where to begin with that particular detail. Any techniques you could
share?
BTW, this photo gives another view of the greeblies on the actual roof:
http://www.rpi.edu/dept/NewsComm/sub/tour/flyover2b2.html. Looks like there are
slight peaks on the thingies and a arch-top ladder as well. No way you could
really build them to scale, I'd guess.
Thanks,
Ed
