Greetings:
Here is my attempt to address a major problem: the near total absence of Art
Deco architecture in the Lego townscape.
This is a minifig scale version of a typical Miami Art Deco hotel from around
1930. Check out the MOC pages for
details. I am not sure it will end up on MichLTC train layout or not.
I hope you like it!
This is my second post to Lugnet (my first was for the Fisher Building which
attracted little notice at the time).
