Very nice! I like how you compressed a fairly complex building down to one baseplate and still managed to preserve the style of the building. I have considered building Disney rides and buildings as well, but just haven't gotten around to it. Brad (21 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.disney, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)
