Cyberbricker Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Hello Eurobrickers, I'm building several colossal castles and have seen many interesting techniques. I used many of them, but one is puzzling me... I wanted 2 use a square window in one of my towers, I couldn't find one and stared looking on the web. After a long search I found this window (see photo,red circle) but I can't make up what it is or how it is constructed, can someone please help. Edited January 12, 2014 by Cyberbricker Quote
SirBlake Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 It looks like a standard arched window piece with a SNOT overhang that covers the arch. Not sure how that would interact with the roof pieces though. Quote
gedren_y Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 It looks to be a 1x2 plate wedged into the space at a shallow angle. There is likely a small gap between the arch window and the sloped brick. I might want to try this. Quote
Cyberbricker Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks for the replies, I was thinking about the arched window piece 2, but I just can't get it to fit. Quote
Ludzik Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Can you post a link to that castle? Looks interesting. Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I think the tile is actually wedged in the slope brick, between the cylinders and the edge of the brick, rather than between the brick and the arched window. It would have better staying power like that. Quote

It would have better staying power like that. That's what I meant, but for that to work the top of the arched window piece has have a plate space between it and the slope brick. Quote
The_Cook Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 If you were worried about interactions with the roof slopes you could always invert the window and have the SNOT facing on the bottom. The SNOT could easily be timber framing using a straight tile, some form of architectural detail if you used cheese slopes or even a window box with flowers if you decided to go for an entire brick. However in this particular instance it does indeed look like a tile wedged into the underside of the slope. Quote
