| | | | | | (...) Thanks, Tim. I am really pleased with the dark orange building. It was the most difficult building I have made with the limits in parts and getting the 3 wide windows and everything lined up the way I like. Also, I am happy I went "out of NYC" (...)

| | | | | Jonathan, these buildings are fantastic! When I think about building mech bays, I always think how much more advanced the "Town" builders are when it comes to structure.
