I noticed these on Brickshelf before seeing the post here. I think you did
just fine with the name. Made me LOL when I saw it. I’d attempt to offer
additional ideas but a nasty email from a licenesor has fried my brain
already this morning.

As the bumper sticker says, “mean people suck” >:-(

:/ . . . Thinking about happy hour already today.

Hope it was a good one (or two;-)

I like the number of different shops you’ve included in the building and I
also like the thin brown building quite a bit. Nice textures along the
sides.

Thanks, Jonathan. I really only want to impress you:-) As for the sides;
it’s kind of a sketchy building technique. The corners are simply 1x1 headlight
bricks stacked to the ceiling. Only the tiles prevent a vandel from just
ripping my corners right off!

Being an old hand at this (i.e. before LEGO saw the light):
may I suggest using bigger bricks just next to the headlight bricks, and
interlock them inside the building? You won’t win any interior design awards,
but it will keep you sturdy.

Oh, yeah, you’ve done the same thing. I like it. It’s a great effect.
Now, I have interlocked the brown with my tan to keep the front face sturdy, but
I don’t see how you can make the headlight bricks any sturdier-- what more can
they bind to other than themselves?

You could put a technic 1x1 brick with pin behind the headlight bricks to add
some security. Not behind each one but maybe every other one or two (or five)?
I did that on this firehouse from 4 or 5 years ago.

I didn’t go as high with the stacks of headlight bricks so it really wasn’t an
issue. And, I can laugh at it now, when my apartment was broken into then they
didn’t take any headlight bricks or tiles.

Sorry I don’t quite get what you mean here. I’d like to try this technique but
my brain is not seeing how you do this. Do you have any pictures of the WIP or
illustratioins of how these go together?
