Phoenix Hall

not to say you should do it, but you could always add a straight strip, with the angled top bend, custom fit, to the front of the curved one, and it would act as a facade, hiding the curve. Just a thought. On the other hand, the curve is so gentle, it almost seems intentional, it looks fine the way it is.

sounds like a good idea Zathros. but i'll leave it the way it is. knowing what went wrong helps with doing the rest right.. i hope. ok got more done. a lot of small cutting and scoring on this model for sure.finely figured out the bends on these..
cut-fold-glue--and so on. 16 per side..aggggrrr
tiny

and her is the right side done and now on to the round post ( again 16 per side ) to attach to the base

I agree with your assessment, and to be honest, the curve has an appeal to it, almost like the original should have had it..

and here ya go, all the round post made and glued together. and the right hall attached to the base. the left hall is built the same way...
