No, nothing missed. In the back of my head, I've been thinking about a Santa
castle display with Christmas train to go around the tree this year (with
the way I build, I should have started last spring on it). The twins
were to be Santa's daughters -- Holly & Merry. The twins were on the table
when I took the pictures; I just thought I'd throw them in as a conversation
piece. :)
I also had a piece of wall section that is to surround Santa's castle. I used
white castle walls, a few white slopes along the bottom, & 1 x 2 green bricks
to line the top. I've got a forestman guarding the wall, holding a trans-blue
(ice) spear. It was a test wall to see if it has the 'feel' that I'm looking
for, but I think it's too much white. I'm thinking about mixing in an occasion
light gray wall; this to give the appearance that the wall is completely gray,
but covered in snow in most places... I threw on a verdigris green brick on top
of the wall & honestly I think I like it better on the wall than the normal
green -- it's not a 'bright'... Anyway, I was going to post the wall section
as well, but decided against it until I could work on it some more...

No problem. I think I borrowed the roof design from a friend, who I think
inturn borrowed it from someone on LUGNET -- I forgot who originally posted
the design -- my friend showed me a few buildings he made for his new castle
layout; I decided it was time to try a few of my own.

| (...) Well, the roof on the "first house" picture looks a lot like Chris Maddison's roof. The roof on your newer houses looks like a cross between his and Kyle Peterson's roof. Is it movable?
