This is a handy technique for small towers or columns.
1×1 round plates and travis bricks make up the core.
This assembly will be repeated and stacked atop each other until you reach the desired height.
Each layer is rotated 45° from the layer below.
The example is 10 studs tall. Four of the eight sides use 1×10 plates with 1×2 tiles centered on each stud.
While the other four sides have tiled 1×10 plates.
One side attached.
Alternate which style side you use as you place them in position.
The finished shape doesn’t match perfectly with a 4×4 round plate, but is quite close.
I used this technique for the front columns in my recent King or Puppet? build.
And that’s it! A pretty simple design, but one that could be useful in a variety of settings. As always, feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
