MSFC: Grand Lux

[501st Commando]

This MOC is supposed to be a Sci-fi hotel in a luxurious city. I've been wanting to use the technique that gives the building it's curve for a while now, but didn't have any idea what to use it for, until now. It uses 1x4 hinge plates and 1x2 bricks with studs on the sides to achieve this effect. I may post a breakdown shot latter.

That's a really cool shape..

.... I want to know how it's done!

Great trees too, it just adds enough to give this some cool scale...

Really simple and majestic. I would also love to know how you did it.

Indeed! Like the color you used. Please do a breakdown!

Beautiful. Like everyone else: How?

Thanks for the great comments everyone! I'll post a break down shot sometime during this week.

I'm getting motion sickness looking at it!

Hopefully the breakdown shot will help with that.

Here's the breakdown shot I promised. I found that when using 1x4 hinge plates stacked on each other that they can curve fairly well without snapping apart. They do need supports to keep them in place, such as normal 1x2 hinge bricks.
