Nothing too earth-shattering here, but I did have some fun with the use of different textures (with some creative assistance from my son Ross). Check out the facade across the top-- all minifig legs:-) The uh, rear is even better-- looks like a moon (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) So what you are saying is "nice pants"? ;-) Thanks, Bruce. Yes, necessity truly is the mother of invention; I went to Bricklink and did a search for all of the available parts in dark red and went from there. I doubt that I would have come up (...)

(...) Very nice. I think the idea of using the legs is great, although I would have tried to make the cornice more prominent by having it protrude by 1/2 or a full stud and making it a different color. I like the window architecture, looks great (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Good Gravy, those buildinga are incredible. I would never have thought to use binoculars for window cornace. All the different parts used in the facades are as close to real in anything I've seen in Lego. "Mini-Fig Legs!!!" ROFL. Great Work, (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.build.arch)

Very nice. Very nice. I really like the innovative ways you use all those parts. Just wondering what parts you used for the window sills? It looks great! Jon h (...) (22 years ago, 23-May-02, to lugnet.build.arch)
