The biggest improvement was to switch over the windows from dark gray plates
to individual 1x1 clear plates. The new model consumed almost 4000 of these
tiny
windows! In order to get the proper reflective qualities, an additional row
of black plates had to be placed behind the windows which doubled the tower’s
wall thickness to two studs and consumed a lot of extra plates. However I am
quite pleased with the results as the new design provides a more realistic
glass tower appearance (and as a bonus I was able to reabsorb all those dark
gray plates back into my collection).

Oh my. I have a new candidate for “most insane member of MichLUG.” Very nicely
done, Spencer!
