Hello, I have put some pictures of some new MOC's I made on brickshelf. One is a tan & green building, inspired by a building I see everyday on 14th street in NYC.

Johnathan: Very nice stuff. A funny story: I saw your pictures on Brickshelf before I read this post, and I said "Hey, 14th street... I work on 13th street.
