The Statue of Liberty's pedastal was built in the middle of 11-pointed star-shaped Fort Wood on Bedloe's Island. My ASCII art of the fort's shape: / \ / \ / _ / / / \ / / \ / / \ / \ / / That's definitely not to scale, but it shows how to make an (...)

(...) Awesome...looks really great. Makes me wonder now if anyone's got the brass to attempt the 7-pointed star dais the pedestal sits on. Eeep! Pucture here: (URL) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) very cool. If you get into an extreme pinch, you can make a passable orange 1x1 plate by taking a 1x1 plate with clip-lite and very carefully cutting off the clip with an xacto knife. orange 1x1's with clip-lite were in fair abundance thanks (...)

(...) Hi, He's great! Your decision to build his face "studs forward" was an excellent idea. On the dorsal fin - try just a vertical line of 2x1 bricks until you get close to the top. Nature does have some straight lines after all. Mark (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

Hi Mark, I'm 'collecting' tan also for catle structures. I think it's an adequate choice for the red-sand like bricks they used in many (European?) castles anyway. About my Seven Wonders Project: I tend to go for Artemis or the Mausoleum. For both I (...) (20 years ago, 26-Jun-04, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.sculpture)

Thanks Daan. With the color change of grey (and the fact that white fades quickly - my Union Station is already showing aging, although I think it improves the look), I think tan will probably take a higher place in my color choices for town (...)
