Jonathan-
The windows were done by David Michon who also did the turntabe and computed
geometries that worked on stud connections for a round structure so large. David
was in Chicago over the weekend so he missed the event.
We placed a separate BrickLink order just to get the 1x6 sand green tiles for
the divided lights that arrived the day before David flew out. The panes are the
1x2x2 transparent smoked panels that were briefly avaialble at PABs last year.
The roof was an idea we came up with a few weeks back. We just assumed it was
going to work, and fortunately it did because there wasn’t any time left to
implement a Plan B. We used up most of an entire K9 of black tiles to make the
roof and even more light bley ones to do the floor.
We’ve got some ideas to rework the building for the next show like arrangin the
floor radially to make the track lower, use less tile, and auto align with the
perimeter wall. We didn’t have room on this layout (we had a 10’ x 10’
footprint) to display the full turntable or animate it, so that’s also yet to
come.
Glad you like it.
