| | | | | (...) Hi David, I think you really brought this model to life! It looks great. Taking the photographing it outside really adds a lot too. I really like the street level changes/additions as well as the wider windows on the other levels. Congrats! (...) (22 years ago, 10-Sep-02, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks for the comments! I've long admired your work and must admit it has inspired me. I agree with the bringing the model to life.

| | | | Hey, this is great. The new cornice is really good. How did you attach those white 2x4 plates that have their bottoms facing out? Bruce (22 years ago, 10-Sep-02, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | Wonderful job, David. I'm especially fond of the fire escape. Nice touch! (...) Speaking of bottoms, I thought I saw a minifig mooning me through the window in (URL) now I can see it's just another window in the back wall. (22 years ago, 10-Sep-02, to lugnet.town)

I think it will look particularly good with an entire block of such buildings with an alley. Though I guess most people won't be able to (...) (22 years ago, 11-Sep-02, to lugnet.town)
