It's not about topping the next cool MOC that comes around, it's about
building something that you're happy with.

That would be quite a trick. The geometry of Lego technic, at least the new
pieces, is pretty limited. Now if you used the old style technic parts with
the half connectors with those little teeth on them, you might be able to
accomplish something pretty nifty. But that's for someone else to experiment
with :)

The real trick to figuring out the sort of insanity I had to do to get this
thing to hold together is to realize the top part of the building, from the
top edge of the window openings up, is all 1/2 stud offset from the bottom
of the building, in order to get the angled entrances to actually attach.
Good thing I had plenty of black 1x2 jumper plates.
