Some people asked me how I fiddled all those corners in my small town. Well, here's the solution. It is not as complicated as it seems.
Basically, I use a regular hexagon. On those sides of this hexagon, you make rectangles (I used squares here, but you can make them in any shape you want).
Between the sides of the rectangles is exactly a 60-degree angle. If you then put (as I did for the red triangle) a side in between of the desired length, you get an equilateral triangle. An extremely stable shape, which you can also make well out of Lego.
You can also make a regular dodecagon this way, if you make sure the sides of your original hexagon and the spacers between the rectangles are the same length.
Beware, you need a lot of hinges! ;)
