Thanks for the compliments.
I tried to ensure that it is really possible to "mount" the parts in real
life, but this does not mean that all the parts actually will interlock.
You are exactly correct, in that there are a few pieces that would be merely
"sitting" in the correct position. I had postulated putting a 2 stud beam
in between the two bricks facing each other, but I think that it is slightly
too long.
I have been reasonably successful with having small portions of real models
not interlock. For instance, on my Aquazone church, the roof pieces are
merely sitting in the right position
http://members.home.net/hmltn1/aqua/mcleau.htm ). I know some purists
would scoff at such non-interlocking architecture, but sometimes there is no
good way to properly connect things.
