Projects I shouldn't be doing - The Hall of Justice

Pierce and Anna are both fans of the old Superfriends TV show (I guess you can figure out who turned them on to that). They have a fair number of superhero action figures and they used to use Anna's doll house as the "Hall of Justice". I always thought it would be pretty easy to make a scale version of the Hall as a neat project and something Pierce and Anna would enjoy. So, for no good reason, I tackled the project this afternoon.
The Hall is made from polyethylene, the same housing insulation material that I used to make a couple of proton packs. All the pieces were cut with a jig saw and the building was assembled with wood glue and sewing pins (for reinforcement). Having started at about 1:30 this afternoon, I'm wrapping up my efforts at about 11:30 pm. Major construction is complete and the Hall has been coated in Modge Podge to help strengthen it and get it ready for painting.
Anna's very excited about the building and "helped" me for a good portion of the afternoon. Here's what it looks like now (the Wonder Woman figures are about 4.5" tall and the building is a little larger than 24" on a side) -click an image to view a larger version:
