GDI Barracks

Nikademis Von Hisson

Trying to figure out which way I should go. Stick with "Brick" look and square off the buildings or round them off and make it appear to be "Brick" knowing there is no style "Brick" to match.

And those are not the building colors. I have to make a skin for them

I'm sure it's possible to do better than either of those. Curves are possible to simulate in Lego by connecting a series of flat surfaces together with hinges. Doing so would create a perfect quonset look.

Something like the design attached.

i down loaded it and ill take a look.

EDIT:
I looked at the file. The problem I have is that like the one style of mine there is no lego piece to even look close real LEGOs. And there is no way to make it look like it. I did make my curved pieces looked more like LEGOs

Anyone else got an idea???

Surely Orac just provided you with a great workaround for this so called issue.

The new curved barrack lego that you made looks like real lego.

Here is some example

But well, its up to you. You can always find what kind of parts legos have online..

The fact that your style is lackluster and shoddy isn't my problem.

@ omega, but its not real looking lego. im thinking squared off plan look

@ orca what? shoddy? it is suppose to be plain. LEGOs are not flashy

@ Zero though round there is no way to connect to the base

Lego doesn't need to be flashy.
But it doesn't need to be bad either.
You can do cool stuff with simple pieces (I'm pretty sure that all of the pieces shown below were being made back in the 90's, back when I was playing with Lego).

i´d suggest to take a look at eurobricks.com or the lego group at flickr.
to be honest it would be cool to see the buildings made of actual bricks in a reasonable size.

good luck with it
