I'm a boy and I like building interior more than exterior (you'll see some of
that in Seaborn Brick) I once built a recreation of the dinning room in the
movie "THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE" Down to every detail...plates, cups,
decorations on the walls, even all the chracters from the movie!!
Then I turned the whole thing upsidedown, took some pictures, and had a mini
Poseidon Adventure....(I should really get the pictures up)....
So I'm more geared towards interior....the destroying all of it!
