ROFL!! Yes! Now we just need to build an Opera House. We already even have a
phantom! (Craig's)... teeheehee...

Hmmm, that would be shweet. Maybe if I have time next year, I'll make some
mosques based on the ones in the Galilee. They wouldn't be palaces, though,
of course! I am of the opinion that a *real* minifig scale castle would take
up a full block, at least, and sometimes I feel like I'll never be able to
make one! <sigh> ... and hey, as for that belly dancer, that'd be hard,
considering those are supposed to be slim and flexible, while 'figs are
about half as wide as they are tall!
I wonder if there would be a way to make real stone arches out of bricks. I
can picture a *very* large-scale arch being made out of Eric Brok's 1x3
bricks, 1x1 rounds system and have it curved at the top... ooooooh, that'd
make a great wedding arch in white. ;-) Hmm. But I can't see a stone-y arch,
with a center keystone and the works, out of these square bricks. What to
do, what to do...

<grin> One can never go too far with one's imagination! I would love to see
more buildings in the Jon Furman style of crusaders. Being around these
things all next year (Israel), I can't help wondering if I need to go around
with a camera at all times and take photos for you all. I should still have
some pictures from very awesome places I was at over the summer. I'll see
what I can do.
