Timing, as they say, is everything, so in many ways even the idea of playing with LEGO seems a little absurd in light of recent events, but life will go on for us and there's nothing that any despicable coward can do that will conquer our indomitable spirit. But I came to share an MOC-- I hope you enjoy the little diversion:-) The inspiration for this building came after I got a bunch of the Oasis Ambush sets last year: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/5938 I started fooling around with the parts from the set and came up with the cornice design, and built the rest from there. It took a very long time to assemble all of the necessary parts, but I am happy with the results. This is my first example of my "miniland detail in minifig scale" campaign-- more on the way. Thanks to LD for making many of these elements available through bulk! Here are a few pics: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6884 -John

John & All, (...) have been trying to get some of those parts, like the 1x4 tan hinge. It is truly a great building! Can't wait to see more! Scott S. -- (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.general)

If I can ask, but where exactly do you work, & how much free time do you have!? Josh (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.general)

		Re: New building (Tan)
I saw this on brickshelf earlier and felt it to be one of the best buildings I've ever seen. The level of detail is great as is the color combinations. The numerous different types of bricks used on the facing give an excellent sense of texture and (...)

		Re: New building (Tan)
(...) What did you use to cut the pieces? ;-) J-2 knows cutting LEGO pieces is a pet peeve of mine. Although, I have to admit I <gasp!> cut a few pieces in one of the buildings I've posted recently... :-O JohnG, GMLTC aka 'J-1' (23 years ago, 16-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.general)
