Oh, yeah, you’ve done the same thing. I like it. It’s a great effect.

Now, I have interlocked the brown with my tan to keep the front face sturdy, but I don’t see how you can make the headlight bricks any sturdier-- what more can they bind to other than themselves?

You could put a technic 1x1 brick with pin behind the headlight bricks to add some security. Not behind each one but maybe every other one or two (or five)?

I did that on this firehouse from 4 or 5 years ago. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=161217

I didn’t go as high with the stacks of headlight bricks so it really wasn’t an issue. And, I can laugh at it now, when my apartment was broken into then they didn’t take any headlight bricks or tiles.
