It makes perfect sense Magnus, I'm inclined to try the incorporation of Dark
grey first, as the curtain wall is made up of 2 wide bricks for the first
several layers, then when the "window wall" bricks start, it goes to 1 wide,
so the walls are thick at the bottom, and thinner near the top. to place
the lower layer above the upper layer would be almost impossible. It's a
great suggestion though, and when I build in the future, I'll definately do
it, thanks for the tip, I'm sure it will save money too! Jon
