Of course my house will never be buildable in minifig scale unless LEGO
comes out with a special part. The arched window in this picture:

The last system the 1957-87 classic Lego windows went out of production in 1987, with the exception of the 1x2x2 windows, which are still produced. Mostly my complaints have (...)
