That is one very sweet looking capitol building!  Great job!

Seconded. One of the minority of capitols in that it doesn't have a dome.
Domes are overrated anyway, though.

Nifty details of the building are too many to name, but right off, the 1x4
plates as hand rails on the angle is something I never thought about doing
before.

Can you provide the link to which pic has that, David? I missed it and i
just went through all the pics and did not see it.

FUT trimmed to just build...

The hand rails are angled.  I seem to always think 'inside the box' and
would have never thought about having plates sitting on an angle without a
hinge or something...

Anyway, it has a nice effect.

p.s.  Just recently got into making models of actual buldings myself--have a
boo at the bottom of this page:
