Thanks WoT! The red is for the roof.

Well I did what I can do for now and here are some of my findings.

1) You never have enough Steck

2) See 1)

3) Designing huge steck buildings is hard, specifically making sure flooring works.

4) Why is there so little flooring! I am only able to floor maybe 5 procent of my building

5) I had a lot of fun, the kids even joined in for small periods!!!

So because of the above findings I was forced to make it only 6 stories high instead of 7. This meant that the grand room is now only one floor high and the kitchen has moved to the lower floor and it's now kitchen/stockroom instead of just a stockroom.

There are no floors inside the building. Only what you are able to see from the outside has floors. All the internal walls are in though, might need to make my own floors because buying the amount I need from ebay would take a long time and be very costly. I'll start buying bits and pieces but well make my own wooden flooring for now I think, opinions, experiences?

I really dont have enough doors nor brown walkthrough's (hope you understand what I mean with that) ended up using windows instead od doors internally.

But eventthough I had a lot of fun building this and I hope you enjoy the picture.

I have that problem too, The floors, especially the square ones, are really expensive, once i payed 5.99 euros for one on ebay, not invluding the postage cost...doors are also a problem...

Despite that, a really magnificent work Gis!!!!! congratulations!!!! I love the square towers!!!

Great building, Gis!

I too do not have enought flooring and plan to make my own. I'll start a thread in the how-to section, so we can compare ideas!
