Hey all,
Having just returned from a trip to Europe, I'm posting some updates to
my provincial village, based on some designs I came up with while I was
in Alsacia.
I haven't been big on using colors in my timbering, but after seeing
some of the most beautiful buildings in Strasbourg France, I've decided
to try some of the muted colors I saw there.

Thanks for checking it out and as always let me know what you think!

There are 4 new buildings
There are a few new craftsmen in the village, Starting with the
glassblower and his apprentice. The color is Sand Blue.
There is also a Cooper who is busy making barrels, the color of his
building is sand green with a green roof.
There is a Seamstress, who is selling fabric and spinning some yarn.
Her Building is "Scala Blue".
Finally there is a Silver Smith and his customer. Their building is
brown and yellow Ala homes in the Frankish town of Rothenburg.

| The colors are very nice. I like how the windows protrude from the housing. The craftsmen in this are better than the ones first displayed. I especially enjoyed the shelves of material in the seamstress' studio, and the wares the glass blower is (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

| Hey Jon, These look outstanding. Your village really has a bustling economy. The colors are all really nice. Two questions--in this picture: (URL) are the trans elements near the strawberry jar on the right? Also, I'd love to see more pictures of (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

| Hi Jon, As usual, I'm waiting for the kits. 8-) I especially like the brown and yellow one, which is odd because I really don't like yellow very much. The brown seems to tone it down and give it some class. Hugs, Shirley. (21 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

| Great work! What a wonderful town you have there. Great use of bright, classic colours and the newer ones. You really captured the look you were going for. Why not humour a resident of Holland and try an old Dutch house next? Alexander (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

| Hi Jon, Just clicking through a few of the buildings I'm really impressed at your ability to model objects at minifig scale. The Glass Blower and Butcher were especially great. I love the sausage machine! Perchance are you a set decorator? You (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

| Very cool indeed Jon. Great use of colour and fantastic compact design. Those houses look great when all clustered together. Lots of nice interior detail too, the one thing that I never have the imagination to add :) The new muted colours really (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Jon, Hey, sorry I didn't reply to this sooner! (Now I can comment without using email.) These are some really great additions to your village! I think the sand and scala blues work well. Once again, the detail is outstanding! The Cooper (...) (21 years ago, 2-Apr-03, to lugnet.castle)
