Mike:

Thanks.  Actually, I plan to make the building in 3 seperate chunks that can be
stacked together.  This will also help me move it around.  My Empire State
Building is all one big chunk, and at almost 6 feet, it's pretty darn hard to
move it when I need to. :)

As for internal support, I will probably use technic beams to span across every
few floors, to keep it from buckling.  I dont like adding *too* many, since
they tend to clutter up the inside, which makes getting around (and
photographing) hard.

Also, since the walls are 3 studs thick, it should be pretty rigid.
