Need help with technique

[Pugsly]

I need to figure out how to make an inside corner using the 25 Degree slopes. the 45 degree slopes have the inside concave corners but not the 25's. I need a technigue so i may finish up making a MOC of my own house. (please forgive me as this is a working progress and NOWHERE NEAR DONE :) Still needs detail work) Plus this is my first attempt at a MOC!!!!!

I have the same problem. What I would do is just use regular bricks. I know it looks wierd, but we all have to deal with it. Nice house BTW!

I have an idea, but I'm not sure how good it will look. I would take 1x3 and a 2x3 and put them together so that they form a 3x3 plate. Next, I would put a 1x1 plate on the center stud and then put cheese slopes on 2 adjacent sides of the 1x1 plate in a way that they form the inside corner shape you are going for. Behind those cheese slopes, I would then put two layers of plates along the edge of the base, each made up of one 1x3 and one 1x2 plate. The final result would look like this:

It may look a little rough, but it's better than just using bricks. Hope that helped.

Btw, this looks very nice for a first MOC.

That's a good idea too.

I like it i'm going to give it a try!!!!!

soon i'll post an update with a pic of the the actual house for comparisons.

I need to add some brick texture yet to the dark brown areas, some more wall lights, and need to play around a little yet with the front porch area, needs more detail work. Add some gutters and downspouts, a back deck etc.

I think you should add baseplates to the bottom of it too, to give it a house like feel

Well I am coming along with it, decided to just butt the slopes up togeather and it actually doesn't look so bad. still need to add some color to the dark brown to imitate bricls on the remaining part. The bad news? $500 from lego, i think I'll look into downsizing it a little maybe hmmmmmm.

Wow! That looks really good. IMO, you should post this in the T&T forum. All it needs now is a tiled driveway and some landscaping.

Your houses are very nice, both real one and Lego one!
