The ultimate plan is to convert this building to *dark* red (most all of the
red pieces used in this building are currently available in dark red).  This
may take some time and lots of $$$, so for now it's just plain ol' red:-)

Enjoy,
John

Very nice. I think the idea of using the legs is great, although I would
have tried to make the cornice more prominent by having it protrude by 1/2
or a full stud and making it a different color. I like the window
architecture, looks great from a distance (like on the full frontal pic).
Hopefully the pigeons won't take notice, I think they'd like it too! :)

Didn't consider that (I'm kind of a suburb guy)  Perhaps I'll have to put a box
on the roof where falcons can live! >:-)

Dark red....right with you John. I am working on a new building & the red we
have is just to darned bright! (and I've used sand red in to many of my
buildings).

Sand red... I forgot that I've built a little apartment out of sand red and
never took pics-- I should do that sometime...

Shall I cross-post to LD? :)

hehe well, I'm hoping that they are *already* planning on expanding the bulk
line to include dark red, as they did with the sand red-- time will tell...

Oh yeah, the window panes! I really like how you worked it to make the
appearance of a six paned window.

Very nice!

Thanks for saying so:-)
