http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=24190 The idea for this Hotel MOC I built, came from a model in the Walthers HO train cataloge. http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=234711 I did change some things do to that fact I didnt want it exactly the same. I changed the color of the upper floors mainly cause I had alot of green, and the blue was too blue. The hardest part about building this was the angle on the corner. With using hing plates it doesnt give you a perfect 45 deg. angle. So What I ended up using is a 2x3 plate with the round end. http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=3176 That alowed me to place the coner at 45deg. and have it snug to the sides of the building. http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=234702 http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=234698 Then the top is attached with a 1x2 center stud plate. And if you are wondering where I got those yellow and mars brown bricks on the side of the building. http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=234700 http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=234701 I manage to get them when I was at LEGOLAND, CA. Thanks for checking out the pictures If you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask. Dave PNLTC
