(...) LOL! :) Glad it made an impression. :) (...) Thanks! Yeah, leave it to me to try some crazy design that no one else would dare. :) The genesis for this idea was to cram more vertical beams into the model than my previous design (which only had (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)

(...) Okay, I'm a bigger loon, so I thought it might be do-able, but unless you can get tiles a lot cheaper than I can, or I've done the calculation incorrectly, it'd be $2500 *per side*, and that's just the tiles. Not as bad as my minifig-scale (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)

(...) Actually, my math was only off a little, but I didn't include the black plates. Here's the whole thing, with tiles and plates: The facade is built in chunks that are 24 studs tall (sideways). A chunk uses twelve 2x2 tiles, three 2x8 plates and (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)
