  Re: Octan World Headquarters
 
(...) Actually, I meant "is there any mathematical model to follow, so that the halves' roofs fit together nicely, without 'holes'?" I did notice the clever use of the wings on the rooftop. What I was trying to know is whether or not you had (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Octan World Headquarters
 
(...) I'm not sure what you mean by this, but the angle of the building is set by the large Star Wars wing <part:30355> and <part:30356> which are parts of the roof panels. Once I had that part in hand, figured out how big the windows would be, made (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Octan World Headquarters
 
Hi Adrian, Very nice building. I especially like the angle between the two halves, is there any model to follow regarding proportions? How stable is the building, while resisting horizontal forces (ie, "shaken")? Pedro (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Octan World Headquarters
 
(...) I like yellow just fine - after all, I have a 3033 Blue Tub full of yellow pieces. And I sure understand the lack of "real world" colored bricks in bulk tubs like the 3033. (...) Of course! And now that the Shell™ Exxon™ and Esso™ oil (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) Yeah, those Life On Mars fan housings are doing a pretty good job up there, aren't they. :) Thanks Adrian (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Octan World Headquarters
 
(...) Hey, don't be badmouthing the yellow :) And the fact that the Bricksburg Hotel and the Octan HQ are the same color is strictly coincidence. 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)
 
  Re: Octan World Headquarters
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Octan World Headquarters
 
(...) WoW! What a nice BIG building! And it's yellow too! Just like a certain hotel from a little while back... I think I saw an Octan press release indicating something about the falling prices of oil have caused them to consider putting the new (...)

  Re: Octan World Headquarters
 
(...) Congrats! What a great huge office building. I'll echo Jason's praise of the windows. The fans on the roof are nice too! Very nice! Jonathan (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Octan World Headquarters
 
(...) Wow, that's big. Very nice. I like the use of your car front windshields for the front glass. The roof details are a neat touch. -Jason +---...---+ Jason Spears (URL) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
