I finished the first phase of construction on a model of the Vancouver Public Library, a very interesting, architecturally speaking, building.

Wow! That is a really cool looking building. I haven't seen quite that sort of curved wall construction before. I like the way (apparently) that you used the 1x2 plates to create a solid curved band. Great Job! Brad Dwayne Towell (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

When I saw a (tiny) picture of the library I knew (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

Thanks. I only got to see it for an hour while we were on vacation last year. It is a very cool building. I tried red at first but it looked to cartoon-like. Tan would be cool but I don't have near enough to do that (and I even part sets). I think I (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

Dwayne: I was in Vancouver a few years ago and saw this magnificent building personally. You have done a great job capturing its essence. I wish I would have had more time to study it because it is such a striking building. Vancouver itself is an (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

That's tres cool, Dwayne! I love the fact that it'll be displayed at PNLTC layouts! People will flip:-) This again exemplifies what I think is so cool-- LTCs modeling regional landmarks.
