Description
A few years before there was the magnificent Crystal Palace, there was the no less grand, Toothpick Palace. Unfortunately, on the June morning that Queen Victoria came to open the palace, it happened to be the first sunny day of the year in London. With the sun hitting the thousands of panes of glass and the optics and refraction being what they were, the entire structure burned to the ground, eleven minutes after it's grand opening.

Inspired by the current Crystal Palace challenge in the Bryce Forum with Draculaz, TheBryster and Brycetech doing some "real" modeling. Done with 46 lattices.
