Hello again,
Here is the next addition to my Tolkien creations folder, "The Inn of the
Prancing Pony".

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=9222

Located in the Village of Bree, The Prancing Pony is the original
destination of the 4 hobbits as they attempt to find Gandalf the Grey.
Operated by Barliman Butterbur (with his trusty groundsmen Nob and Bob) the
Inn has a common room, and two floors of suites.  The suites are of various
sizes of course as the village is at the intersection of the worlds of
Hobbit's and Men.  The Inn is of modular design, so each of the rooms are
removeable as is the roof. The Pictures near the bottom are of the structure
itself. Aside from the base and the roof, the entire inn is constructed of
bricks 2x2 or smaller.  This allo

The Hobbit's have just arrived and are on their way in to speak with
Butterbur.  In the common room, in the corner, sits a mysterious patron.
Cloaked, and hooded, smoking his pipe, and enjoying a large tankard of ale,
Strider hopes to meet the Hobbits.
I hope you enjoy, and as always, I welcome any and all feedback.

Thanks to Tamyra Reed for starting me on the right path to getting a good Pipe!

Jon, Great work as usual. I enjoyed seeing your vision of the inn. Of course being the LOtR fanatic I am pic #16 was enough to make me happy. ;-) -L (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

  Re: At The Inn Of The Prancing Pony
 
Jon, wow! I love it. The building itself blows me away. I love the way you did the stone on the bottom floor, and the 1x4 tiles on the timbering. Great landscaping too. And as Dave said - great bed idea! <yoink as well :-)> Very cool...can't wait to (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)
  Re: At The Inn Of The Prancing Pony
 
(...) Jon, You've done it again. This is beautiful. I think my favorite detail is the way you made the beds. Using all smaller bricks makes the walls look realistic on minifig scale, as does the mix of grays you use. That tap piece makes a good (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)
  Re: At The Inn Of The Prancing Pony
 
Hello! Very nice! I also think that the way you built the beds ist very creative. Fine! All in all - like your "Festival-of-the-Gui...s"-gallery - great work again! (...) Hehe! And first of all the bricks will thank you: No biting marks. Bye Jojo (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) <snip description> (...) A beautiful creation. I particularly like the lamps you have outside. The willy-nilly way you built the grey walls is interesting too. I also dig the way the roof flars out at the bottom too. Great work. -Jason (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)
