| Hello, I finished the facade of a new building. I was inspired by a building on the corner of 6th ave & 15th street in NYC, and the end result looks nothing like the real thing. :o/ Either way, I am very happy with the way it came out, particularly (...)

| (...) Hi Cary, The only 1/2 stud use on the grey building was on the window sill of the arched windows. The first version of this building did have each 'level' separated by a 1/2 stud trim line, but I ran out of grey tiles so I made it a full stud (...)

| Those arched windows are pretty nice! I had to check them out for a while until I figured out how you did them. Out of curiosity, where did you get the brown arches? These buildings really capture the feel of some of the older buildings in NYC. Nice (...) (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build)

According to Peeron, it also comes in 6079 (13!), 6046, 6076, 6082, and 6024. -Jason (URL) (...) (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build)

| (...) Hi Chris, Thanks for the compliments. The tan building with green windows is on 14th between 5th & 6th on the south side & the grey building is on the corner of 6th & 15th. (please bear in mind that I tanked on the grey building--it really (...) (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build)

| (...) Thanks! I started to notice the detail of buildings more (i.e water spigot [stand pipe valve for FDNY) so I wanted to include them in my MOC's. Thanks for taking the time to look & post. Jonathan (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)

| (...) Wow! I just now had to go back and look at your pic for a third time before I noticed that. (I had been distracted by the span of window arches). I think it is absolutely great that you included such detail. So much time and effort must have (...) (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)
