With the color change of grey (and the fact that white fades quickly - my Union Station is already showing aging, although I think it improves the look), I think tan will probably take a higher place in my color choices for town (...)

Hi Mark, I'm 'collecting' tan also for catle structures. I think it's an adequate choice for the red-sand like bricks they used in many (European?) castles anyway. About my Seven Wonders Project: I tend to go for Artemis or the Mausoleum. For both I (...) (20 years ago, 26-Jun-04, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) Awesome...looks really great. Makes me wonder now if anyone's got the brass to attempt the 7-pointed star dais the pedestal sits on. Eeep! Pucture here: (URL) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) Whoops...looks like it's nine-pointed. This makes it even harder, I'd imagine. not that seven-pointed is a walk in the park --Dave (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.sculpture)

The Statue of Liberty's pedastal was built in the middle of 11-pointed star-shaped Fort Wood on Bedloe's Island. My ASCII art of the fort's shape: / \ / \ / _ / / / \ / / \ / / \ / \ / / That's definitely not to scale, but it shows how to make an (...)

(...) Thanks for the comments! I seriously considered building the star. I would have "cheated" a little, and basically made it a big square, with seven pointed triangles coming off the sides (2 on each side, but only one big one on the front). (...)
