Nothing too earth-shattering here, but I did have some fun with the use of
different textures (with some creative assistance from my son Ross).  Check out
the facade across the top-- all minifig legs:-)  The uh, rear is even better--
looks like a moon fest;-)

Some notes:

This building is basically backdrop scenery for the TCLTC layout (Hence the
skinniness-- it sits along the back edge of the layout).

The ultimate plan is to convert this building to *dark* red (most all of the
red pieces used in this building are currently available in dark red).  This
may take some time and lots of $$$, so for now it's just plain ol' red:-)

Enjoy,
John

Very nice. Very nice. I really like the innovative ways you use all those parts. Just wondering what parts you used for the window sills? It looks great! Jon h (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-02, to lugnet.build.arch)

Wow, that is so nice looking. I really enjoy seeing the Buildings you come up with. Excellent work, I look forward to more in the future.

  Round windows (was: New MOC: Red Building)
 
(...) noticed the shed and locomotive (wow!) but I can't figure out what is going in the "sheddetail1.jpg" image showing a round window. I've built round windows using those inverse half-arches, but these are all a lot bigger than the one you show. (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.arch)
