> The link: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6920 Not on the topic of the red building, but while I was browsing the folder, I noticed the shed and locomotive (wow!) but I can't figure out what is going in the "sheddetail1.jpg" image showing a round window. I've built round windows using those inverse half-arches, but these are all a lot bigger than the one you show. Am I right in thinking that you are using a regular arch upside down? If so, my guess is that you have put a tile on the studs on this arch, which is then lying on top of another tile. But if so, what holds it into place (i.e. stops it sliding forward and out)? Just being careful with the finished model? Or is there something structural that I can't work out? One of the things I really like about the build.arch group is the great techniques you can learn from others (more talented than me). Kerry

Nothing too earth-shattering here, but I did have some fun with the use of different textures (with some creative assistance from my son Ross). Check out the facade across the top-- all minifig legs:-) The uh, rear is even better-- looks like a moon (...)
