Neoclassical Museum WIP - Foundation's west wing front view

I haven't posted any WIP photos for quite some time so I decided to upload some quickly taken ones. Currently I'm working on the foundations for the whole building. I was constantly unhappy with the designs that were based on rectangular baseplates and until a month ago I came across images of the Fisherman's Bastion (Budapest). Yep, that was that, the slanted walls really burned into my mind and there was no other way to build this after that.

 

The walls are slanted at approximately 70 degrees and the angled pillars are using a series of cheese slopes that are set at a half-plate offset to created a continuously 30 degrees slopes. The walls are going to be enforced by a technic liftarms that will go from the bottom base (made as a honeycomb of bricks and plates to add extra rigidity) to the top.

 

FYI I don't know why but for each project that I do I end up using like a ton of the headlight bricks... useful little devils :)
