Those are some nice creations. The brickfaced townhome - great work, those
colors really compliment each other well. Now if Lego would only release
some plate packs in those colors. Joined Buildings - Nice history/story for
creations. Also the cornice work is very good. I will have to borrow some
ideas from you. The way your rooftops are so cluttered is great too. The
fire escapes everywhere are nice too. The air conditioning units, the water
drain, and the canopyies on the Red and Grey Walkups are very nice. The
tree lined townhouses are great. The snot work on the White Building with
Arches, is really innovative.
