Two words: Very cool.
How long does it take you guys to put something like that together?
How much work do you have to do on paper?
(I'm just full of questions, aren't I?)

We thought about the picture on and off for quite a while.
I'm not sure how long, because we've been drifting back
and forth from one Escher picture to another trying to
decide which to do next. In fact, I'd already started a
mock-up for another one, and some preliminary programming
work for yet another (no, I'm not saying which they are -
we may never solve the problems and get them finished).
Anyway, once work started on this properly and we'd
figured out the general scheme, the only paper preparation
was sketching out a rough plan view on a sheet of paper.
After that, building took several evenings spread over
two or three weeks - we had to backtrack quite a lot,
and there were several changes in the colour scheme as
the building progressed.
So it wasn't a _huge_ project - at leazt, not in comparison
with "Balcony", which kept us busy for more than three
months...
