I really like the layout of the Lego room. Very well organized.

One comment on flourescent lighting... I had some Lego sets on display at work many years ago. I decided to take them home when I noticed that the flourescent lighting in the office had turned the outside of the white bricks a faint yellow color. I was not a happy camper.

My 6990 monorail was set up for may years in the basement under florescent lights. Yeah, some of the white is pretty much tan in colour now. It’s very odd, though--some white pieces didn’t turn colour at all, whilst some went completely tan in colour. The 2x8 plates with the tiles on top have tan/white combos where the tiles blocked the light--I can pretty much build the 6990 today using the original white pieces because it’s so blatantly obvious which ones are the original white pieces.

Also, the sun’ll do it to the whites as well--leave your MOC in front of a window for a few months and see...

I have as yet to try Retr0brite but it’s been a plan for a while. Sooner or later I’ll do it and let you know if it reverses the UV damage.
