Hi Brad!  Thanks for the
compliment.  I like your town pics.
Have you made any
non-orthogonal designs (non
90degree)?  My station is
octagonal (not the top) and almost
5 ft high on a 3.25" base.  (it was
a  CLSoW last August) Just
wondering what the tallest thing
you made was.

I used some UFO round pieces on the top of my second space station.  You • can
see a write-up about it at:

UFO pieces on a lot of different buildings as canopies.

I sanded down some of the gray round pieces (and later used "Brasso" with
much better results) to get rid of the stupid graphics.

Here is a use of the round gray pieces (see the 2nd picture on the page):

Here is a use of the clear round pieces ( see the blue hotel on the • left):

There are a few other examples on my web site.

Has anyone else made use of these?
