MOC-- I hope you enjoy the little diversion:-)

The inspiration for this building came after I got a bunch of the Oasis
Ambush sets last year:

I started fooling around with the parts from the set and came up with
the cornice design, and built the rest from there.  It took a very long
time to assemble all of the necessary parts, but I am happy with the
results.

   That cornice design is *stunning*.  Bram's right, that's a
   great use of obscure parts.  The 1x4 tiles with 5-finger hinge
   are also really neat--what set did those come from in bulk?

This is my first example of my "miniland detail in minifig scale"
campaign-- more on the way.  Thanks to LD for making many of these
elements available through bulk!

   I see!  I hope you'll produce more--the tan/brown/white scheme
   is especially cool, it looks like a lot of the buildings around
   here.

   That's beautiful.  How ever will you assemble a whole town so
   lovely?  And when are you going to make it available as a kit?
   :D
