Thanks. I only got to see it for an hour while we were on vacation
last year. It is a very cool building. I tried red at first but it looked
to cartoon-like. Tan would be cool but I don't have near enough
to do that (and I even part sets). I think I used about 5-600 1x2
plates alone. I'm thinking of doing the surrounding building in
blue, do you think that would be too big a departure? It would
match the color scheme I have going so far (windows are ltblue).

I finished the first phase of construction on a model of the
Vancouver Public Library, a very interesting, architecturally
speaking, building. (The second, surrounding, building which
contains office and retail space will be coming soon.)

Cool, Dwayne! I love the VPL building (and it's a good library inside, • too).
I think I might have tried to do it in tan or red rather than grey (pieces
permitting) as one of the noticeable features of the real thing is the • warm
reddish sandy color. I look forward to seeing the side-by-side comparison
webpage.
