Yes, I see what you mean. Sorry, I am not very well versed in actual
architecture terms, thoa I suppose I will be learning as I continue to build!
Anyway, at the top of the column are 4 1x1 headlight bricks--two facing out and
2 facing in. Attached to them are the piece called "plate 1x4 offset" which
sounds like what you are saying. It really was a useful piece as it pretty
closely resembles the column tops (capital). I did also add the dots ("plate
1x1 round") on both sides of each offset piece for the full effect.
I hope that helps.
