Thanks for the compliments. I like your comparison to Hopper-- you and I can
start calling ourselves the Ashcan LEGO Builders;-)
Seriously though, I am into creating buildings that are specifically *not*
built in bright colors, but rather the earthy tones. To me they look too
toyish, and that's not quite the effect I'm after. I use primary or bright
colors for accents at most, and sparingly at that. It's all a part of my 8
wide thing, to go the next step towards "realism" (Or more towards a "miniland
detail in minifig scale" idea).

All I do is give, give, give;-D
