When we first saw the recent firetruck set with the fenders (?) I knew I wanted
to use those parts for lintels on a building.  I thought they were nearly
perfect.  I wish they were attached to a plate rather than a brick, but I made
it work anyway, here:

I am very happy with the way this building turned out.  Building three wide
windows was a little challenging as it affected the whole building.  Getting the
door to line up was a little tough.

Feedback and thoughts are appreciated.

thanks,
Jonathan

(...) Another great building from you Jonathan. The wheel hubs (?) are perfect for the windows and a wonderfully clever use of parts. My favourite bit though is the door. It screams Sesame Street to me in a very good way ;) Tim (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)

(...) Looks awesome! One question : was there a specific reason for the 1/2stud offset around the windows? I mean it looks great, specially with the tiles left&right of the door, but was there an actual reason for this obvious builders torture? WRT (...) (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)

(...) Nice. This was one of the "secret" buildings from last month, right? It came out sweet. (SL, TFS) ++Lar (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)
