Bruce,
thanks again for the compliments, It’s hard waiting for those pictures to
clear the brickshelf censor isn’t it! Those swords are definately wedged in
there, I'm gonna have to pull them out to avoid cutlass bendage as well. I
agree about the color scheme, I'm not certain about what colors to use other
than black white and tan, I don't like the red at all, and it's hard to do
the framing in brown as there is a lack of brown 1x1 plates out there!
Anyways, shoot me your ideas, I'd love to hear them

Jon,
You're right on the limitations of available colors. Of course, if this
were an official set there are other colors that could be swapped in like
some of those light yellows or the orangy-brown of the HP Privet Drive set.
Unfortunately those are only available in a limited array of pieces.
Looking further at your buildings, I'm really impressed by all the little
details, like the lamp hanging from the pub, the sausage maker, the bakers
oven, etc. I love the photo of the inside of the baker's home where you get
an orange glow from the fireplace as light comes through the trans orange
cones. Another great thing is that every building has access to upper
floors. I like how you can see chair built by your carpenter at various
places. He's got a good business going there.
Bruce
