It's still as beautiful as when you showed it off at the March LUGOLA meeting. Is that minifig still standing at the base, or did you replace it with something else? I can't wait to see what monument you decide to tackle next. May I suggest San (...) (24 years ago, 30-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

Brad: Great List! Well, I tell you... this is an issue that I have thought about a whole lot. Most of my buildings are at least 5 floors (one is 20!), and most span at least 16, 32, or 48 studs. Thats a lot of floorspace! I have tried a lot of the (...) (24 years ago, 15-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

Cool idea. I think I tend to be overly anal about correct color matching, so I often overlook the use of multi-colored "scrap" even when it won't show. I really need to go this route because it's too expensive to build structural members so that (...) (24 years ago, 13-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

I think that the technic beams method is the best, but there's also another one you can use if you have lots of plates. First, make your roof shape out of plates: this is your roof's first layer. Use only plates of the same color as your roof and (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

That's a pretty interesting discussion! I suspect that your beams would be much stronger if you used the 1/3 high bricks instead of the standard 1 brick high. I have noticed that the 1/3 size bricks bind considerably more tightly than the full size (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.arch)
