Amazing work Paul, like everybody else, I'm blown away by the roof. The entrance is also a great piece of building. The color scheme is perfect, espicially with those bits of red and blue on the corners. Well done. -Keith (20 years ago, 17-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.loc.us.oh, FTX)

(...) By my count, it's 727. 323 on the entrance side of the main roof, 326 on the other side, 20 laid flat at the peak, and 58 on the little section over the balcony. (20 years ago, 17-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.loc.us.oh, FTX)

Hey Lenny, Nice creation. One detail I like is that the windows don't all line up, giving a less symmetric, more realistic feeling than many buildings (incl. my own) have. Bruce (20 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
