Looks awesome!
One question : was there a specific reason for the 1/2stud offset around the
windows? I mean it looks great, specially with the tiles left&right of the
door, but was there an actual reason for this obvious builders torture?
WRT the red door, looks awesome! But if I might make a suggestion, try
changing those vertical SNOT'ted tiles into another color, white (would
need a white plate on top too for better effect) or dark-grey perhaps?
Damn I feel inspired! If only I could use these idea's in my current
project...

Well, the arch piece is 3 wide. Using the 1/2 stud offset was the only way I
could figure out how to make it work w/o leaving holes towards the top of the
arch. It was a little difficult to do, but building in tan made it a little
easier. I am currently doing a building with these same arches but the body of
the building is dark orange. Much fewer parts to choose from. I have run out
of curse words and started making up new ones because of all the obsticals I
have encountered with it.
Sometimes I tend to make things more difficult than they are, though. Can it be
done w/o the offset? Anyone?

Hi Jonathan,
It can be done without the offset... just. I did up a version in dark orange
using only available pieces..
BS - more pics and the
MPD
That was a fun challenge.

Wow. VERY impressive! You blow me away with how quickly you crank this stuff
out. Excellent.
