I think it would be great if we could actually see the station, so I'd use a transparent structure.

well i will make a see through structure... an also i will make it so it is easily removed so jsut the funitel is left not the structure.

Yep, I can't wait! When will the cabins be done (so we can get a look)? Oh well, I'll probably just end up with the same answer that I got before.

So you will be able to take off the protective structure of the station so you just have the guts of it?

yes jsut for the guts and the cabins (without hangers) will deffinitly be constructed and completed with all the art no later than the 20th.. or atleast the ones with names on them.

The reson i cant talk abotu the rest of the funitel is because outside theres alot of variable into it.. like the snow.. if we get 5 inches of snow i cant work outside until i clear the area because 5 inches caled to lego size is like 5 floors ---.. also i have to get some more stuf ffor the frames of the stations/ and the tower pillons.
