Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. Here I was trying to lead by example. Building
buildings to about that exact standard and all I had to do was propose it.
Oh well, I am pretty keen on the stuff I built so far, exspecially the latest.
(Pics not taken yet, but I should take them tonight and post them in the

all of which can be on a corner or in between other stuff. Also I am
attempting to have a somewhat similar height between them, as I would love to
have a roof top chase between the cops and some crooks. Maybe a custom Batman
is called for?
