This was something I built almost two years ago. When I was browsing
through the NELUG show pics I saw it and was amazed that someone picked
up on a design that I worked out so long ago. What's even more wierd is
that I've been thinking about the design a lot lately as I plan out a
new version of it. I can't believe I used to build such small
buildings. Did you use magenta bricks on the front of the buiding as
detail colors? It looks like you used red on the side. I really like
the combination of the magenta and the gray for an art deco look, as in
this building:

I'm basing the new diner on this scheme.
Anyway, I was glad to see someone else using the technique for the
windows. Keep up the good work!

ps. I don't remember if this is true or not but I had great difficultly
trying to attach the paradisa windows on both ends. Critical distances
and SNOT technique don't always work all that well.
