I know how much everyone loves those gray droid escape 1/4 round pieces. Here's a new house that uses them as a central tower. I didn't get time to furnish it yet, but will do that soon! (Need brown pieces) Click on the link under the picture to get (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.announce) !!

(...) BK, This is awesome! This is one of the few instances where the baseplates are not at 90 degree angles to one another. By the way - how many Droid Escape sets did you have to purchase to pull this one off? This is one expensive set :) I (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'm glad you liked the model! It took 8 escape droid pods for this set. There are several plane and train windows in this moc, but the 1x1 are just standard 1x1 black headlight bricks reversed. I did it on my Lofty Ridge model for the top (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yeah - that's the problem with a big project like Dave Eaton's Village or any large castle. You build a few houses and put a lot of resources into them, and then you are stuck and start trying to build stuff out of very standard elements :) (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I wonder how noticeable it would look with 1x1 or 1x2 columns of bricks spaced between the 1/4 thinwalls on the tower-- that'd at least give a good starting point for the window... not sure about how to do the door though... and of course the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Unfortunately I do not have a real staircase in the tower. The reason for this is the fact that you can't open the tower. If you have seen my Wizard's tower (where I used the counterpart white curved walls (URL) you will see one of the images (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hmm... Was thinking about exactly how to do this... I suppose if you used each step as having: 2x4 plate 1x4 tile 1x2 tile 1x1 tile 1x1 plate And spiraling them around the center stud, then you could work your way up the center of the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Using dark gray and black together would expand the bricks you could draw from. You could 'hide' the dark gray on the underside and you probably wouldn't notice it! What were you going to do with the tiles? (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)
