VERY pretty. Of the many features of this building to like, I think I like the inlays under and over various windows the best. That multicolored tilework brings the model to life. Thanks for sharing. Spotlighted!!! So can we get the LDraw files? :-) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the compliments, Bill. Very kind considering you're a former model builder! We went for "Miniland detail in minifig scale", I think it worked out well. The Doby torsos were the only modified pieces on the model, I used some (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Very nice! Well done, all. Excellent design. Few questions: The internal support structure: Bearing in mind that I have never built anything of this size: I would have never thought to include this. Was it needed? Why?

(...) As we were building it, we would tell people the internal structure is to prevent the walls from going ( ) , as well as keeping all the floors straight and level. Since this model will probably be moved around between different Mayo Clinic (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, FTX)
