This is the effect I'm after:

What angle should I cut my panels to make the walls that have that look?

Is that about 80 degrees?

Yes. But, if you cut both sides at 80 degrees and glue the edges, does the overall angle change?

LOL

Well, I guess I best give it a try right now and find out.

It looks then like it is a bit more than 80º, maybe around 85º.

It could just be the angle, but the lower section looks to be a slightly steeper angle than the higher area.

My advice get some thin card (cereal box is great) and muck around with assembling it until the angle looks right.

Ooo, you guys rock!!!

Yep. Gonna do some playing around with card today.

Thanks,

Here is a couple of pictures of 15mm Egyptian Temple I made from plasi-card, I just drew it out and started cutting, it only took about 4-5 hours to build and paint, about the same time between your first and last post.
