I am in the middle of building a home train layout with my kids, and am
cranking out buildings for the town section.  Although most are in
various stages of completion, this one is close enough to being finished
for a spy shot;-)

Nothing earth shattering, but I like the new color.  My other buildings
are tan (x2), dark gray, gray, black, white, and brown.  They really
look sharp in the non-primary color scheme.  None, of course, would have
been possible without LD bulk services (or Brickbay, for that matter;-)

I hoping to include them on the new GMLTC layout, but folks are saying
they are too big:-P   I'm thinking of starting a write-in letter
campaign on my behalf;-)

John:

Very nice.  I also like the use of the "Liberty green" color.  Also, that is
a lot of 1x1 with side clips!  Wow - great detailing.

I do not think the building is too large.  In fact, I would suggest
increasing the height of the first floor by at least 50% (if not a full
100%).  Most city office buildings have high ceilings on their ground floor
and your first floor looks a bit squished right now which makes the building
look a little top heavy.

Anyways, great job here.  I look forward to your next creation.

Tim
