Hi happy builders,
when I saw nfranke's cathedral
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=873181),
I was struck by the fact that by a quit simple misdirection you could make
the arches appear less round and more pointed. If you look at the middle part
of his (her?) cathedral, you see what I mean.
This effect is accomplished by layering arches in front and in the back.
nfranke used the 1x2x5 arches.
I tried if there was a possibility with the 1x2x8 arches, coming up with a
smaller variant.
And tata... this is the result:

What I like most of it - beside the impression of having arches which are more
or less pointed -
is the mottled wall effect using 1x1 plates in different grades of gray and
sandgreen.
They nicely cover up the method of holding the windows in place ;-)
Thereby: the construction is only 2 studs deep and can thus be kept in nice
constructions!
PLMKWYT!
Best regards,
Daan Bargerbos
