I didn't want to bump an old topic, as I am also somewhat late to the party for this set, but finally purchased at a good price. Inspired by Superkalle's mod of 21005 Fallingwater http://www.eurobrick...84, in this set review topic: http://www.eurobrick....05 review&st=0, I made a MOD of Fallingwater using LDD, as the original design seemed somewhat bland, and after studying images available on the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy's Fallingwater website: http://www.fallingwater.org/ I also based some aspects on a mod posted by Spencer_R, https://www.flickr.com/photos/51130204@N04/7515792352/#The scale of the model doesn't lend itself to too many fine details, however. Changed the color of the stone work to capture somewhat the variegated nature of the actual building's stones, lowered the bridge, as suggested by others, and also added the red trim on the windows, another addition by Superkalle, to suggest the dark-red framing of the building's windows. The most bothersome in the original model was that the landscape visually merged with the building. I changed the ground color to dark tan, and highlighted the water course through the use of red-brown. A few cheese slopes and other small details added here and there to make the whole more pleasing. FInally, changed the color of the "non-visible" (below-ground) parts to black, and added the black base (also seen in previous 21005 mods). I retained the stackable / interlocking design of the original model. I would like some opinions or feedback on the color choices, etc..., prior to acquiring parts needed. Thanks! and the LDD file http://www.bricksafe...full mod v3.lxf Here is the original, image linked to the original EB review topic
