Dan,

Wow, what an enchanting castle! One question, do you make the towers with
hinge bricks to get the octagonal shape?

George

There are no hinges involved at all.  The diagonal sections are locked in by
studs at the base and top only.  You can try using hinge bricks, but they
seem to produce crummy geomtry.

Interesting... How structurally sound is that technique? It seems like if you pressed your finger halfway up those sections, they would buckle. Are they braced somehow? Eric (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)
