Thank you for all of the detailed information on this project. It really helps people to understand just how much work is involved with something this large!

Holy cow! I can't believe the amount of work that went into this project. The painting is wonderful!

My favorite tops have to be the conical roofs. It just makes a dazzling image the way they all lay out across the top.

The modular design is wonderful as well. There are lots of ways you could ...

That sounds fine to me.

Nice work! It looks like a fun project. At first I was confused about the large blue wall, but then I realized it was supposed to represent the mold.

What is the purpose of the blue blocks under the normal blocks 3 photos up?

Yes I do. This is the texture I wish I had started with at the beginning of the whole mold making thing. My overall plan is this:

I have a large project in the background of my mind which kind of fuels the projects and directions of this next series of molds. This project is to make a modular board ...

You probably already ...

The differences are that the bricks on mold #350 are not randomly recessed and the bricks are slightly less in height than 1/4".

Excellent! Thank you for the explanation and the photos.

One of the future projects I will do will be similar to this. The only difference will be that the walls will be "L" shaped, similar to my Low Wall Dungeon project, only using regular blocks instead of the low wall pieces.
