(...) 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)

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)
