<grin> thanks for the plug, Harvey! I do the inside details even when
they can't be seen because they are my favorite part (right now I'm
having a lot of fun building machinery to go in my factory), but if
John doesn't want to do them it's his choice - each to his own.

The green building looks great, especially the cornice (creative twist
with the angled bricks there!) and the subtle change in arch shape
over the windows between the main floor and the upper floors. It
almost reconciles me to the icky green color :-) The only bit I'm not
keen on is the 2x2 plates sticking out from the corners on the upper
floors, though they may look better from another angle.

John, how about adding a plate between the 2 stacked clear thinwalls
in the windows as a windowframe? I know that would mess up the heights
in the back layer but it might look good (I personally don't like how
the joins look between the clear panels). Why the three windows on the
main floor with 4 windows in the layers above? It looks odd to my eye.
