VERY pretty.
Of the many features of this building to like, I think I like the inlays
under and over various windows the best. That multicolored tilework brings
the model to life.
Thanks for sharing. Spotlighted!!! So can we get the LDraw files? :-)

Thanks, Larry! The real building has oodles and oodles of tile work and stone
carving - while we were building it we joked that Dr. Henry Plummer (the
architect) must have brought in every stone carver in a 500 mile radius!
You can see some of the tile work in
this picture of the
south wall. We went for a different look between the windows (corrugated bricks
alternating horizontal and vertical) but we used the mini-mosaics for some
color. Obviously we couldn’t do much of a pattern in a 4stud wide x 8plate tall
mosaic, so we just kinda went crazy with the different colors and made them all
different.
LDraw files? I suppose that would be up to Steve - he created something like 50
different drawings of different parts of the building. I told him if his
computer gig doesn’t work out he’s got a future as a Miniland designer!
