Okay, so could I get some thoughts here: Looking at the possibility of bricklinking Town Hall, and the most immediate issue is definitely the dark orange bricks, since they're not all that cheap and there are a lot of them. I'd be open for hearing other substitutions, but do you guys think a good old reddish-brown sub would work? I was messing with an LDD model and that seemed "closest" (and it doesn't hurt that I'd imagine pieces in that color should be plenty cheap as it's a "common" one, right?) and honestly seems to look pretty good... but an LDD model isn't 1:1 on the real thing, and I wouldn't want to really mess it up.
Also looking to deal with the dark green 1x1x2 little windows, as those aren't super great prices wise and I'm changing colors anyway most likely, and then there are the big white 6x24 flat pieces that are pretty pricey, but that might be unavoidable because they're so big. (The garage doors are also a bit of a pain, but as far as I can tell they're one of those necessary evils as they're so essential to the look, ala the expensive little skis for Cafe Corner. Oh, and same for the tall 2x2x3 slope deals for the top). Any suggestions there?
Edit: Hmm... I could go for transparent light blue instead of pure transparent to shave off a bit on the garage doors, but not sure that's worth it... Actually, is it important that the black part be one with the handle? Because that's like $3 alone, and I'm not sure it wouldn't slide in right without it... (Or maybe bricklink was being weird, looking at it? Why is that part like $1 more from the auto-find cheapest than it is from the apparent average? Hmm)
