Very impressive! Let me echo the compliments the others have made, and add a
few more things I liked:
The (removable!) clear glass roof over the center lobby. I've envisioned one
of these in my mind, but it's great to see one actually implemented.
The "unobtrusive" use of the Lion Heads - I love Lion Heads, but they
sometimes have a tendency to draw a lot of attention to themselves in a
model (since they are so large and the tan really stands out when the
surroundings are not tan). In a structure the size of yours, they become a
nice subtle detail.
The lobby details are a nice touch, and the mural on the backside is really
good. (50 stars on the flag!)
I know others have utilized this technique before, but the "outside rail"
detail using the 1x2 plate with horizontal rod is still neat to see -
especially in tan!
1900 windows - wow, I didn't believe it until I started counting up and
multiplying. Thank goodness for bulk packs!
One more great entry for the ISCC! I am very envious of your MichLUG/LTC
group. It must be quite a grand spectacle to see all your creations together
in one place.
