Wow Anthony! Talk about a step up.. this is really a great update to the village. The main street, with offset buildings and small "alley-ways".. this really has that medieval look. I was thinking the other day of doing a new village, but I always have the problem of how to break up the ugly main road aesthetic that pervades lego village building.. i think this is a solution! the little 'alcoves' (where the buildings tend to face eachother rather than the road) look like family home.. ie. grandpa builds the first house, and then father builds another one next to it, but offset a little, and son does the same, but on the other side etc etc. This is the thing I love : 'large-scale detail' .. a big design element (offseting the buildings) that suggests something personal and detailed. great. question: how did you offset the buildings? great stuff.. can't wait to read the chapter about Dahyart! -Lenstu'u > Teaser wide shot: > http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/savatheaggie/village/newvillage/dahyart01.jpg > > Teaser detail shot: > http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/savatheaggie/village/newvillage/dahyartdetail04.jpg > > Gallery: > http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=35707 > > PLMKWYT > > --Anthony > http://www.ozbricks.com/ikros > http://www.ozbricks.net/ikros/chaos.html

		The Village of Dahyart version 2.0
After reading the very helpful constructive criticism I recieved, and after reviewing my recent village MOC, I decided to redesign it. So... I did. I've totally redesigned the layout of the city and added much more detail. Such details include (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general) !
