Thanks for the compliment. I saw an apartment building Steven Barile
built out of yellow (and black or red) that had all curved walls and was
kinda triangular (I can't find a picture of it on line). When I saw a (tiny)
picture of the library I knew I had to try to build it. All the curved walls
are built exclusively out of 2-stud parts (sometimes the end of a 2x4
but always x2 in the direction of the wall). Put enough in a row and
they give.

| Wow! That is a really cool looking building. I haven't seen quite that sort of curved wall construction before. I like the way (apparently) that you used the 1x2 plates to create a solid curved band. Great Job! Brad Dwayne Towell (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.arch)
