I built Styles Court, where Hercule Poirot solves his first and last case. While basing it on the two books “Mysterious Affairs at Styles Court” and “Curtain”, I took much inspiration from Abney Hall, where Agatha Christie spent time. Abney Hall is a Grade II listed Victorian house in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, originally built as a private home in 1847.

Ooh, thanks for pointing that out! That means there's only a 0.01421... difference if a plate is added! Which is next to nothing! Modular buildings are packed with near angular builds, but I don't think I've seen this method of adding a plate in between to adjust the width.

Yeah. I've also been trying this out. I think one can attach the plates properly, too. But the corners are hard to connect properly.

Yep! Tried it. I think there is a slight space, but I couldn't really see it. Felt like a neat fit. Still, a few more trials are needed, as there's minimal connection sideways.

Thank you! That's a great idea! Here's the interior!! Thanks! That's very kind of you! ha ha! Sad to say, I've never seen the zombie movie. If this one fails, maybe that can be my next try!? ooh, I hadn't even intended to make that bit romantic. Just trying to give it a bit of difference. Thank you for noting the details!!

Thanks for the reply! True, it all goes back to Pythagoras :D This last photo wasn't so helpful, probably, as I was trying out complicated stuff! But, basically, I think you can do any width this way. Here's a more primitive build to show you what I'm thinking. You'll note that the wall is fully connected on the base and to the top plate. Therefore, it can be whatever length you want it to be!

This is absolutely amazing! I love the colour scheme, and great use of some large parts!!

I'm Tim, and here's my LEGO Pemberley! https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/6d7f7a00-433c-437d-a206-dba180c8e040

I've been experimenting with the idea of building a 45-degree angle by simply using the stud diagonally and filling the gap with plates (as the gap is 0.44 studs, compared to the plate width of 0.4). Here's one example. Would love to hear some feedback and suggestions to improve it, and I'd love to know if I'm reinventing the wheel.

I was reading Pride and Prejudice, and thought I'll make Pemberley, which is central to the book! It has full interior too. Any thoughts?? Not sure how to post the image here, so here's the link to LEGO Ideas. http://ideas.lego.com/s/p:6d7f7a00433c437da206dba180c8e040
