Hi Menecot,
Thanks for the kind words. Right now it is in my dining room :) Which is the only place where I can keep the whole thing right now but I will display it at brickfiesta in 3 weeks. Wish me luck with the move and that it does not end up in pieces :D

Pwahh! Great to see that it's been finished. I was thinking earlier that the internal photo was bang on the money. When we were there, they had a little bit of Christmas stuff out and a boat with a smoke machine :lol:

Great to see it finished! Love the light shining through the colored window. Must say again that this is a really wonderful build that inspires many of us!

The light through the other windows look a bit bluish, have you thought of using older lightbricks to get a warmer and more natural light?

Thanks for the nice feedback! I agree with the lights. I took more pictures with a pro photographer that are still being edited. Mine, I have to say leave much to be desired :). Having said that, I'll see how the latest pictures turn out and if it still is too cold I'll find warmer led's. I am just swamped at this point so I'll have to do it a bit later :)
Thanks again!

Quite impressive! I like the windows, I may have to use that idea, though I am curious what was done for the stained glass windows. :mrgreen:

Thanks Velliscig. The stained glass has on the inside a layer of transparent bricks against it for support making a "casing" for the bright bricks. I then lit then stripped one of those cheesy fiber-optics lamp from the electronics/leds to light the interior. I tried power-functions lights but where too weak.
