Alright! I was looking forward to this.

The scene overall looks pretty lively,
and the arrangement of the buildings
reminded me kind of a renaissance
faire. Of course, the most interesting
shops by far were the produce market
(I believe the green shop at the end)
and of course the imposing securities
and exchange firm. Nicely done.

About the widened streets, is the
entire burgundy stretch not adhering
to MM standard?
Looks good either way. Actually, It
wouldn't matter too much if it weren't
an MM standard because this looks
presentable with any display on its
own.

Well, now I have a legit reason to
purchase some more roofing slopes
and bricks from bricklink :)

Hi Nathan,
That's my favourite picture too. I love the crowded, busy look to it -
something I've been trying to achieve with one of my areas.
I love all the food in the green grocers too. I have some of each, except
the loaf of bread. Wherever did you find it?
You're whole street is just wonderful. The talent of master builders, like
yourself, just amazes me.
Hugs, Shirley.

The buildings were all built seperately so getting them to look decent
together was a bit of a challenge. I am surprised how many peolpe like the
green grocer (one of my least faviorites ;) ). I did like my use of the
knight's kingdon wheels in it though.

Yes and No. Each building fits MM standard perfectly with the exception
of the overhang rules and a few ally lengths here and there (how straight
was a medieval street anyway?) If I take the brown street out they all
function as normal medieval marketplaces (with green indented roads). I
personaly would like to see a town made up of streets like mine with mm
standard streets jutting off all over (with the help af securities firm type
buildings). I think this would give a nicer uneven feel to it. (I've tried
it and it looks pretty good...)

Yeah, I was going for the first displayable marketplace (and as no one
lives out my way I had to build it all myself).

Or blacksmiths from lego :).
On another note I have plans for two great new marketplaces (construction
to start as soon as I find a house).
God Bless and thaks for your comments,
Nathan

I would love to describe how I slaved over the angle, the lighting, the
composition, the... but this is a pure luck of the draw photo (which I
happen to really like). I used every castle fig at my disposal in the
street. (Definition of aggrivation: To have over 1000 figs in storage and be
on the other side of the world with a few castle figs and a load of police
officer figs.)

Scala camping trip (not sure of the #). I traded for the bread so I
wouldn't have to buy the set : ).

Thanks. 'Master builder' ahh the ring of the words... Actually most of
the people on here are a lot better then myself... Currently ; ). I get
better everyday though. If I put up a pic from december 01 of my then best
model I would be laughed off Lugnet.

Thanks for your reply and God Bless,

Nathan,
Wow, this is really nice, a crowded, busy marketplace. Are you going to make
a whole town around this?
Thanks,
George

Hi George,
First off, Thanks for your reply. Secondly, alas they are all all
ready in pieces in my suitcase (I leave tommorrow), so I can't expand. When
I get settled I have some huge projects planned (this would only be a small
part of one...) I also have two marketplaces of similar scale planned for
the near future.
About the crowded look- The 'nice' crowded of my street is about to
disappear into the bad crowded of all out war when the black falcons
progress just a little further down the street into the parading black
knights... : )
Thanks again and God Bless,
Nathan

Jon,
Thanks for the feedback and my apolidgies for a late reply ( I've
been travelling without the net so I'm very out of touch).
God Bless,
Nathan
