Nice one Joel, good to see you building Castle again ;)
I really like the pottery shop. The angle on the door and windows is very
cool. Adds a nice dimension to the moc
The window in the roof is cute too.

Heh. Yeah, it's been a very long time since I've built anything. I have several
hundred minifigs all sorted out in Castle(esque) regalia, all my military
factions standing at attention, all my Kings, Queens, Warlords and evil minions
ready to invade and rule... But what is a king without a kingdom to oppress? A
Warlord without a land to reclaim? ;) Seriously, my wife and I have decided to
use some newly regained spare time after the holiday crush ends to begin working
on our realm together. The Forest of Blood will return. :)

Thanks for the compliments, James.
I wanted to do something with this building to help it stand out from so many
other awesome Castle/CCC buildings lately. At least in that section of the MOC I
think I succeeded. The window was kind of an afterthought but I found that it
gave some (needed) character to the odd roof lines there.
Thanks again.
JJ
