| | | (URL) I'm happy to present the Armitage Hotel. I had this completed back in Feburary, but alas, I'm really slow to get pictures taken. In fact, I still haven't had a deticated photo shoot. But I grabbed pictures from the various layouts it's been in (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.org.us.michlug, FTX) !!

| | | | | This is really nice. It has an attractive colour scheme and a certain 'elegance' to it. It is this type of MOC that make me think I'll have to build town one day... Thanks for sharing and God Bless, Nathan (19 years ago, 12-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) That color scheme, which I agree is nice, also apparently means "firehouse" to the mundanes. At every show it's been to, I hear someone in the crowd say something about the "firestation". Despite the lack of bay doors, and the shops on the (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| | | | | | | (...) I am wondering if people are noticing the huge red windows (made of classic 1x2x2 windows) and mistaking them for bay doors? Depending on their line of sight, maybe the street level shops are out of view? We have some big firehouses here in (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Very nice! Good sources of inspiration :) A sign with the hotel's name couldn't hurt. I built a sign into a side wall of my Hotel Columbia that seems to get the point across (althought that one isn't red). A large rooftop sign would be neato, (...)
