Duplo wall? Sounds like fun! Seriously I didn’t even realize that was a duplo
wall at first with the small gallery image. I’d jump at a chance to blow through
a few k-8's worth of duplo to do something like that. Just think no sore thumbs!

This just keeps getting better and better. The detailed buildings under
construction is really, really cool. I’ll have to add it to my ever-lengthening
ideas list. I am hugely jealous of the sheer amount of 2x2 windows though.

Pardon me while I mop up my drool. This is exactly the style and scale I want to
build my town. The tan building is beautifully detailed yet it uses readily
available parts and seems to fit into the "I can build that" category that kids
use at train shows. I may build myself a copy to tweak into a building that is
remarkably similar my hometown. The rest of the block also has some cool
building ideas like the angled windows by the doors and the color combos. Please
please post some close-up shots whenever you get a chance. Nice work!
The "city hall?" building has me puzzled honestly. It’s a beautiful building and
I love the ridiculous amount of detail but how were the columns made? I see tons
of uses for them but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Do tell.

P.s thank you for the detailed reply it really did help and I apologize for the
delayed response I had a wicked cold on top of a messed up back last week. =)
