(...) Nope, the wings are what sets the angle. Thanks to the size of the building, small misalignments from one end to the other are eliminated, and everything can line up nicely. (...)

(...) It looks like it uses the 4-wide hinge mechanism (roof hinge)??? Then again, that might not give enough strength to hold the platform to the rest of the tower. Other methods of bracing might be also needed. Benjamin Medinets (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) I'm not sure what you mean by this, but the angle of the building is set by the large Star Wars wing <part:30355> and <part:30356> which are parts of the roof panels.

Hi Adrian, Very nice building. I especially like the angle between the two halves, is there any model to follow regarding proportions? How stable is the building, while resisting horizontal forces (ie, "shaken")? Pedro (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
