Wow!!! ..... "mixed cylinder curving" ... I like the curved walls, but I love the "radiating chapel" effect that you built. What a great idea. More proof of the "power of the brick". Eric, I like how you took the problem of curving in LEGO, and (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.build)

This (and a "rarest piece" thread in lugnet.general) reminds me of a rare sloped brick piece that I'm sure some of you who have any 1960's LEGO will recognize, and that is a 2x2 regular sloped apex (peak) brick that instead of an "I" ridge line has (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.build)
