The exterior contains over 12,500 pieces, or about (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.loc.us.ny.ny)

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. Seems about time to mention JT's NGLTC Atlanta chicken! FUT: (...) (24 years ago, 12-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 (...) (24 years ago, 12-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 (...) (24 years ago, 11-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.arch)
