Because the outside was left relatively clean, I packed the inside with as
much detail as I could. So the detail's all there, still. As for the roof,
the frame is attached above each window with a 1x2 technic axle. I can
remove some or all of those axles, and the roof will just rest atop the
window frames (the windows are also supported from below, but they don't
actually attach to the side of the building in any way) When I was building
it, I left all 8 (well, 12, if you include each technic member between the
windows) connecting pieces out. For photography, I put them all back in so
the windows would stay in place. It's actually not that difficult to take
the roof off, and only takes a few seconds longer than if it had just sat on
top there.
And it does kind of look like some sort of modern art sculpture, doesn't it...
Thanks
Adrian
