What about the curve?
How did you maintain structural integrity with many people building the moc (as
in the shape of the curve)?
From my experience with 2x2 bricks and curves they do not have a lot of clutch
power. So your building technique must have made them stronger.
When you lifted the stripes up, were they relatively strong, sturdy and stable?
How much do you estimate the flag weighs?
So it sounds like the flag is going to state at the fair grounds forever? Does
it need to be glued?
Thanks,
Brian
