 | | New MOC: Red Building —John Neal

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 (...)

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 (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.build.arch)
