Hi,
My castle is almost 3 feet high and has octogonal middle tiers
(http://members.home.net/bhamilto1/l1castle.htm)
My Eiffel Tower has 4 sides, but they are bent progressively upwards (See
the bottom of it here: http://members.home.net/bhamilto1/city2/top.htm and
the top of it here: http://members.home.net/bhamilto1/city2/overall.htm )
My new police station is 3 feet high (12 stories), although I don't yet have
any pictures posted. It also takes up the largest square footage at the base
(roughly 2x2 base plates). It tapers to a small tower on the upper 6
stories.
