Does anyone have any thoughts as to how the curve was made? It looks to
smooth to be typical bricks staggered at full or even 1/2 stud intervals.

How can that be?

The curved parts are 1x2 bricks, which have enough of a gap to be flexed
into a curve.  The curved section is 60+ studs across, although it's
wonderfully scaled, so it's not easy to tell that it's that big.  Each of
the windows appears to be ~10 bricks wide, assuming those are 1x2 tiles on
the bottom.


Sure is pretty, though. :)

thanks,

James

(...) Thank you! That is the only explanation I can come up with as well. I will have to go home & experiment. Thanks again. Jonathan (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.build)
