Thanks Michael. The corners are actually angled straight facets, each about
16 studs long, rather than real curves, but the vertical blue
sticky-out-bits (I'm getting old, can't remember the proper word!) disguise
the angles and make it look as though it's curved. This was a serendipitous
accident, I can't really take credit for doing it deliberately :)
It was still a bit of a %$^%$^$ building the seating areas inside the
angles, and those whole corner areas are fairly fragile, but it looks good.
