(...) I love it. It looks just like a factory or industrial-zoned building, which it should. All the roof-top elements are fabulous. I might have gone with another color tile than sand green on the tops of the facade, but that is just me. (...) (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

Holy cow. I don't go online for a week and look what happens. That is amazing. I think that is the first set in a long time that I might not take apart right away for the parts.

Al, Very nicely done, I lived in a house not so unlike these when I was a student in Brighton. This style of house is very boxy and rather plain, which means that it can be replicated very convincingly in LEGO. Your use of 2 by 1 plates really adds (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)
