(...) Its looking good. There is a lot of detail for a modern style corporate skyscraper. Are those backwards 2x3x1 train windows? They look good that way since they look larger and less heavy from the back. Are you going to build a plaza in front (...) (17 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

I more or less like how the Penobscot turned out but it is not as detailed as my previous skyscraper the David Stott building. Of course if you look at the real Penobscot vs (...)
