That was mainly because I was short of blue roof bricks. So I started with the
roof to check out how big it could get. Then I checked the proportions by
putting the roof on the pillars. I realized a little later that the building
was not well proportioned and I enlarged the width. I managed to do so without
the need for more sloped bricks by adding the windows into the roof.
In the small version I have had enough lion heads for all windows, later I had
to substitute them by creativity.

I think I have not more than a dozen of them. But I have had lots of 1x3x1 from
the Oasis Ambush set. The whole building was really fragile as long as I just
built the outer walls. Later I mounted pounds of white bricks in the inside
(esspecially the corners) to stabilize the structure.
Leg Godt!
