Thanks for the compliment! Cross your finger for 2003.
You're right; it did take some time. Part of the hold up were the number of
brick link I had to make just to finish it. One moment I thought I was OK,
then discovered I needed more. (What really got me PO'ed was when SAH said
1x6 light gray bricks were no longer available and needed another 150!)
Another element of time was looking over the layering of Study 1:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=218813
It's not the best picture, but its arc has a more "bullet nose" profile that
I wasn't too thrilled with and knew I had to come out with something better.
So, I decided to try a 1: x at the top end to 1:1 around the mid to y:1
as you approach the base (x = studs, y = bricks), almost a hyperbola. There
was some "tweaking" to get that taper as it approached the top. Generally
speaking, I feel better with Study 6 than Study 1.
