Well, I couldn't bring myself to completely dismantle it, so I downsized it!
:-)  I turned it into a "backdrop" building for the TCLTC layout, and now it
can live out a useful life.

Rick Moranis, eat your heart out;-)  Also check out a slightly modified
interlocking tower that utilizes the new brown stairs from the Privet Drive set
(also in the same folder).  More pics soon of some more new buildings as I get
them up in the next few days.

John it came out great!I still love the way the pillers came out in your
building.I liked it so much I incorporated pillers  into one of my latest
blocks    http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=265460  using my

(...) Oooh, sharp building, Chris! Nicely detailed; plenty of good architectual angling, and good coloration, too. You will have to join the Ashcan school of LEGO town builders I am forming with Jonathan:-) -John (22 years ago, 18-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.town)
