Sorry for the double post. Rendered Instructions and DAT file now available, if anyone is interested. (URL) sure that I made FAR too many steps, but I figure using BrickShelf, people can just skip to what they want to see anyway. Thanks to Jeff Boen (...)

(...) 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. (...)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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)

(...) 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!

(...) 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)

(...) 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)
