Timing, as they say, is everything, so in many ways even the idea of
playing with LEGO seems a little absurd in light of recent events, but
life will go on for us and there's nothing that any despicable coward
can do that will conquer our indomitable spirit.  But I came to share an
MOC-- I hope you enjoy the little diversion:-)

The inspiration for this building came after I got a bunch of the Oasis
Ambush sets last year:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/5938

I started fooling around with the parts from the set and came up with
the cornice design, and built the rest from there.  It took a very long
time to assemble all of the necessary parts, but I am happy with the
results.

This is my first example of my "miniland detail in minifig scale"
campaign-- more on the way.  Thanks to LD for making many of these
elements available through bulk!

Each of us in our own way will come back to our enjoyment of the brick.  For
some it may take longer than others but I think that play and building with
the brick will be an essential part of recovery and healing.

The building is stunning.  Other than the cornice (which is great), I really
like the detail between the windows.  I have been fooling around with a
bunch of white 1x2 log bricks (log - part # 30136) for the same thing but
could not come up with anything I liked.  Your use of the 1x2 plate with
side bar as a header and footer is great and I will definitely be using your
idea as inspiration.  Thanks for showing.  Great job.

Tim
