Hi Marc Belson Jr.,
thanks for the compliment!
I've seen your wheel in a round chamber a time ago,
and tried it myself. I thought it really was clammed,
but maybe I haven't build it the right way.
I hadn't seen your buildings with the turntable bottom before,
and think they are very nice!
I especially like the way you used the different shades of gray
in all that plates build into the church. It is really 'brickish' now.
