The fore staircase is the "grand" one and it's too bad that you can't see it once the model is completed. One crazy idea: make the canopy and glass dome removable. I know it's out of the realm of true architectural authenticity, but what the hell.
I might try it. The staircases are there, why not use 'em.
Have fun
