(...) Thanks. Not too many people have built buildings that aren't pretty much variations on the box. I enjoyed the challenge of making this thing bend in the middle. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) Nope, the wings are what sets the angle. Thanks to the size of the building, small misalignments from one end to the other are eliminated, and everything can line up nicely. (...)

What I was trying to know is whether or not you had (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) 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)
