Thanks for the compliments.
I actually had several "mind blocks" in trying to create this building.
When starting out on a large building, it seems so tedious and difficult to
actually get started. When I laid the foundation, I thought "I'll never
have enough bricks to build that as high as I want," so I had to make it
smaller (the original plan went back about another 15 studs).
It was even more difficult when working with yellow. I really wasn't happy
with this building until well after the roof and other details went on it.
I repeatedly modified it and added more "gray" pieces to it. Before that,
it looked far too anemic.
Interestingly enough, I pretty much did exhaust my yellow bricks. This is
surprising because I've built much larger yellow structures in the past, but
these structures relied a lot on windows and trans-blue panels, so there
were relatively few basic bricks used. This structure uses tons of basic
bricks, not only in the walls, but there is a large, thick interior
partition. Also, under the seats in the theater is filled with basic
bricks.
Doing interiors really sucks up the bricks! My older structures were shells
(facades) and only used about half the bricks for a given building size!
Putting a back on the building is painful too, but it produces a much more
realistic looking building.
