Very nice building, especially with the detail work. I like the way you did
the stairs, but I’m most intrigued by how you came up with a way to make
curved walls surrounding the stairwell on the 2nd floor. That technique
could be very useful in creating round buildings/walls, etc. Nice job! :)

Yes, one of the members of my club (BayLUG) used the same technique to build
a water tower for our train layout. Actually, we have two water towers: the
smaller diameter one is built using 1x2 log bricks and 1x1 round bricks,
which is very flimsy but looks great.
For an even larger radius, just build a wall out of overlapping 1x2 bricks -
there’s enough play to make a nice curve. It bends nicely, and forms a
smooth wall.

i built an example of a 1x2 curve a few years ago. sorry, the photo’s huge.
 a better example
of a curved wall is jeremy rear’s
portland convention
centre moc used at brickfest pdx. now that’s a curved wall!
