It’s such a common element for him in buildings that I think he’s got the best creativity with that particular element. It might be worth getting his insight.

I like the combination of the Nexagons on the side. It’s one of those bigger parts full of detail that’s great on low part challenge builds.

I also like the nose assembly of fender parts. I call that a “snoof”, because it’s funny.

I know @whitesidewjw uses ingots as beveled bricks, and this is really effective on circular towers because the raised tiles distract from the hinged connection points behind this stonework greeble.

It’s hard to tell on the windows. I am leaning toward no, but it is really hard to tell from the pics. I don’t recognize this size window with the dot in the middle, however some of Lego’s old windows did have a dot in the middle toward the top/bottom.
