Hi.
I played with Lego when I was young, and now after a long "dark time",
my four and six year olds have gotten me back into it.
I have seen many MOCs on brickshelf and personal websites, and am
frankly humbled by what I see others creating.
I have a strong desire to attempt to build a model of a nearby
building. What size bricks do I use for the walls? 1x, 2x ? It would
seem that the size of the structure would have some impact on this.
The building I want to copy is two stories tall. I'd like to make this
to minifig scale, so should I use the minifig scale converter to get a
baseline?
How important is it to have the interiors complete? Do the MOCs that I
see at the train shows have interiors? I suppose that this is
something I could add later, with some demolition/rebuilding.
Any comments/suggestions/pointers appreciated!

| (...) A couple of thoughts that I would throw out for consideration is first making sure you have enough bricks of one size or another to complete the project. This might determine whether you go with the 1x or 2x (or end up having to mix the two). (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.build)
