Sounds great! We should probably get the exact dimentions of the window before
doing it too (although like the Mindfest SW display, we can have our own
"custom" setup that might look cooler when not restricted to space, too...)

I think what I'm going to start trying for are some houses-- white, tan, brown
and black houses... I'm also trying to decide on what to do with all my grey...
I'm thinking I might start working on a LARGE castle wall, built partially over
a landscape (slight hills)... currently, I have no idea how high, but I'm
thinking of it being about 2 bricks thick, and just using grey bricks, without
using castle wall sections (unless I use them in a tower or something where a
window might actually belong)... I'll also try and make it have hinges so it
can bend at slight angles-- (I can even put some bends into the hillside with
the green tiles I got in 7171 (Mos Espa)! That might look cool...)
Anyway, I don't know if I'll have the grey needed to span 3-5 feet with what
I'm planning (rough guess at the perimiter's length with angles & bends), so if
I think I need help making the complete wall, I'll specify a standard to go by
that people can build modules for? Unless someone else would like to build the
walls in their entirety?
Anyway, I'll start on that this week and try and get some pictures up...
Laterz,
DaveE
