Thanks for the compliments. I thought that the Aquazone prop housings
looked like microwave antennas. Unfortunately, the exterior of this
building looks MUCH better in person. The camera does a wonderful job in
most cases (and the interior shots actually look better than in person), but
it has a great deal of trouble with black areas. I had to re-shoot these
shots several times to get something semi-acceptable and even then, the
pictures look sort of fuzzy.

When I built this building, I didn't know what it would be (which is typical
of my buildings). It's only after the shell was complete that I decided to
make it an Ogel base. As much as I love the building exterior, the interior
and plane are actually a lot more exciting.
Regarding the word use error, I didn't even know that there were two
variations on that word. I'll have to see if FrontPage caught it. I have
very limited time as I have periodic "baby" duty. I scanned over the text
for errors, but I'm sure that I missed a few. FrontPage's spelling/grammar
checking helps a lot.

Thanks for the compliments. I was actually amazed that LEGO could compete
with the unepected opportunity to play around with a PS2 (which I can't
afford because I spend all my "frivolous" spending budget on LEGO). I kept
thinking "I really should go in and play those cool games because I'll lose
the system in a week or two" but once I got the idea in my head for this
building (and received the brickbay shipment with the necessary 1x6x3.5
smooth half-arches), I just couldn't pull myself away.)
