Since I was modelling the Octan HQ after a real building (and I didn't have 50,000 tan bricks) I built (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks. I wanted to try and emulate the sloped front of the real building as close as possible. The best way to do that, since I used all my thin walls for the roof panels, was to use car windshields, similar to what I used on the Museum ((URL) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch)
