Christmas came a little early for me this year.
I found the HP 4728 Escape from Privet Drive on sale and was able to complete a
cottage I’ve had partially completed since about August, and found the digital
camera I’d asked my wife to get me for Christmas on sale as well. She kindly let
me have it early (Thanks hon!) so as to use it for Thanksgiving with family in
town. And...well.. it helped with taking these pictures too, though I’m still
adjusting to its features. ;)

I’d originally wanted to link these two together using 1x2’s with Technic holes
and Technic pegs with the intent of building three total structures to fill one
side of a village street(1) but as the cottage took form, the SNOT tudor stripes
prevented the method I planned to use. In the end I like them better as stand
alone structures, though both still have the 1x2’s built in for now.
For my first village creations in years, I’m very pleased with the results.

| Hi Joel, Both of these houses/shops are nice. I like the pottery shop because of the angled facade. I have wanted to try that for a long time. Details like the bed, the kiln, and the pots are nice. Ben (20 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Nice MOC's. I like the non-rectangular structure and roof lines. I'd suggest trying to insert grey 1x1 round bricks around the windows in the top of the pottery store, to try closing it in. Keep up the good work. Tim Strutt (20 years ago, 9-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)
