Hello all,

Here is my latest creation:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=9114

It is a large mansion styled after a French chateau.

This is actually a model of a real house in Palos Verdes Estates, (Los
Angeles CA).

The actual house is currently for sale.  I found it in a high-end
real-estate magazine.

Info about the real house:

- 6 bedrooms
- 4 car garage (only 3 modeled in LEGO version)
- separate maid's suite
- Indoor racquetball court

The price?  Only $4,900,000!

I wonder if the French original is even close to that!

See the sub-folder for info on how I generated these images.

Comments are appreciated.

Ok, here goes:
I LOVE IT!
Well, maybe not the colours... but the design is very, very good!
I looked at the wireframe, it must have been difficult to see through all
those lines. But the solution for the facade you came up with is very
adequate, the central window neatly depicted.
Great job!

Pedro

(out of curiosity, have you devised anything so that the garage doors can open?)
