I love it. Great job. It looks incredibly solid as well. Dark bley and sand green work really well together. I like the solution to the roof line at the corner of the building too.

The only thing I might have done differently would have been to add a foundation layer of light bley maybe 2 plates high at the bottom/foundation of the building. I think it would give another touch of realism.

Excellent MOC.

Jonathan:

Thanks for the kind words and the great idea! I agree that a foundation layer of light bley would probably set it off nicely. The good news is that (as you pointed out) it is quite sturdy. Thus, adding a two-plate layer to the bottom should be a fairly easy modification as I can remove the bottom floor from the baseplate as pretty much one piece. As soon as Stacy and I complete our renovations to the basement “LEGO Lair” I will give your idea a try. Thanks again!
