You sure do have a good knack for architecture. =)  That's a really nice
design with some interesting details.  Did you design that "in the real • world"
first and then LDraw it?

Thanks for the compliments.

I designed it completely in LDRAW.  I find it MUCH easier to build in the
real world because I can actually get my hands on the real pieces.  However,
with LDRAW, I have access to infinite numbers of rare pieces in rare colors
(like those dark gray and white arch pieces used for the buttresses and
roof).  This adds an element of creativity that just wouldn't happen with
the limitations of "real" part availability.

Wow!  I've never used LDraw but I can imagine that making something that big
in that program without having something real to base it on was some hefty
piece of work to accomplish.  It looks great! =)
