Hello Brian,

In my opinion, this is simply one of the best (if not the best) building MOC's
by a fan I have ever seen in my life. You capture so many of the details and
bring them to life, that I try to capture in my buildings. Simply fantastic.

My only gripe, and there is nothing you could have done about it, is that there
isn't a medium colored brick color between Sand Red and Red. Fortuantely the
abundance of grey tends to mute the bright red quite nicely.

If you are able: please, more pictures.

I am blown away for the first time in a long time.

Fantastic.

Best,
Jonathan
