Microscale White House

Name of Model: White House

Details:
All the Americans out there are probably familiar with the White House, which has become an important symbolic representation of the American Presidency. I figure that this model is about 130 studs wide - as I mentioned this weekend, large models done in microscale are often still fairly sizable! A close look reveals a number of well-chosen parts that mimic architectural details of the real thing - note the use of regular size windows to make the impression of more windows, and the use of offsets for curvature and chimneys.
