When I built my chateau a few years back, it was simply an exercise of love-- bulk bricks had just become available, and the doors to creating larger and more complicated and detailed MOCs were opened. It, however, became this large labor of love that I didn't know what to do with, much less where to put it. Well, I couldn't bring myself to completely dismantle it, so I downsized it! :-) I turned it into a "backdrop" building for the TCLTC layout, and now it can live out a useful life. Here is a link to the original: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2519 And here it is today: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6920 Rick Moranis, eat your heart out;-) Also check out a slightly modified interlocking tower that utilizes the new brown stairs from the Privet Drive set (also in the same folder). More pics soon of some more new buildings as I get them up in the next few days. -John

		Re: Honey, I shrunk the Chateau!
(...) Hi John, My apologies for the deliquency in noticing this. (I've actually had to do 'work' at work the past few days). Very nice. Looks to me like a Mayoral Mansion for a city. Any plans to put a cityesque landsacape around it? What parts are (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.town)

		Re: Honey, I shrunk the Chateau!
Hey John, This looks really nice. It preserves all of the key features of the original, but in addition to freeing up space it will also free up a lot of elements (all those windows, railings, blue slopes, etc) for future projects. Oh, btw, I really (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.town)
