Thanks! The support columns don't actually contribute much structurally. I
just like the looks of them. In a traditional cathedral, the roof is too
heavy to be held up by the thin walls, so the buttresses provide added
stability.

Yep - Its starting to look like a city. Although its not as "tall" as LEGO
City 2, the buildings are far wider and at a more realistic scale.
Unfortunately, its chewing through my LEGO about 3 times as fast (especially
considering each building has interior walls as well).
