Actually, I thought about that for a bit-- the only real way to get around
the problem though, is fortunately provided in the set :) There's no real
way to get the wall pieces themselves to latch into other bricks without
either disrupting the nice curve (or just making it unstable), because the
only studs are on the border. However, by putting the 1/4 circle *plates*
above and below the 1/4 circle *walls*, you can then attach those plates to
the remainder of the walls and make them more sturdy :) It just means you
might have some oddly placed support beams along the inside walls of the
tower...
