As I am primarily a town and train builder, occasionally I wander off into other
themes. Over the easter weekend, I made a Medieval Townhall. If deemed worthy by
Troy, it will be shown in his Cleveland show early July.
Here is are two pics:

Interior needs “some” work, but will de done at one piont. Some elements are in
place for attachment of little scenes (horse anchors, prisoner-chains, and such)
and may make much sense right now, hope you like it anyway.

No, Paul, that just too lame to be included. I don’t hink we’ll have room for
it. You’ll have to do better!
(/sarcasm)
Seriously though, it looks great Paul and I’d be greatful to have it for the
July Display. Should fit in nicely with your other buildings and the wall
system already lined up.

Awesome roof! never got the chance to do so. It confirms that the idea is well
worth the effort and parts needed to build it!
The whole thing is simply astonishing. One of the best and largest castle
creation I've seen in a while. But since I don't really look at all castle
MOCs, others might have passed unoticed by me, so apologies to all deserving
such praises in the .castle group!

Beautiful! Simply beautiful! The main color scheme (old)brown/tan is always a
winner. And with a bit of medium blue and dark red works very well indeed.
Wow, and that roof is GREAT! (Never seen it before, your idea?) I’m amazed how
you made it in a single weekend. I have to pratice more moc-ing for sure... Keep
wander off into other themes, please!
Thank you for sharing it!

Thanks!! My camera may not be that good, or your screen ;) , but the color in
the brown posts is regular blue and regular read (cheap!)

Yes, I did have the idea. I then bought the tiles (months ago), for this reason,
but someone else a few month ago made a small house or so with a similar roof,
so there are others out there that can possibly claim this as their idea (too).

A large building stock, and an organized inventory helps (I made it without
having to stop and order parts). Planning the thing in my head has been done
over several months, the actual building was indeed done in a few 2-3 hour
sessions.
My next venture will be into space, I’ll try a moonbase, or maybe a mosaic (I’ve
been saving brikcs for either, just waiting for some time to tackle it....

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! the roof technique, the wall piece variation (straight
juxtaposed with 1x1 cylinders & bands of colors, the gray & tan/brown color
scheme & other details all come together in a fantastic MOC- great job!

Paul,
That is quite beautiful. It so enormous too. As others have mentioned, the bits
of red and blue over it really add something. The grand staircase in the front
in great and that roof! Wow. MichLUG & COLTC are gonna have to do another show
together so I can see this in person.

Paul,
This is great, I love to roof (how many circle tiles did that take). The use of
1x1 cylinders for the posts looks great, and the colors really make it come
alive!
Thanks,
George

Paul, this is an awesome model. I’m sure the picture doesn’t do its size
justice! I really like how the circular ‘tiled’ roof looks. Why didn’t you use
this for all of the roofing? Can’t wait to see the interior!

That is remarkable, and that roof is beautiful! I wish I could afford to buy
enough of those 2x2 round tiles in order to do a roof like that. Just great.
Now I’m really disappointed that I’m not going to be able to make the Homedays
show. I’d love to see this in person.

Not that it matters(it may to her) I saw this style of roof on Suzanne Green
(Rich) web site at least a year ago....

Sometimes different people in different times have the same idea. It happens.
For instance, several mathematicians, in the past, reached to the same results
and one of them was, say, in France and the other in Russia, without getting the
chance to even comunicate to each other. Therefore, congrats again!

I have both, but somehow i’m pretty sure i wouldn’t made it in 2-3 hours...
Although planning the thing for months and having *all* the parts is
quintessential, i’m still amazed neverthless!

By my count, it’s 727. 323 on the entrance side of the main roof, 326 on the
other side, 20 laid flat at the peak, and 58 on the little section over the
balcony.

Amazing work Paul, like everybody else, I’m blown away by the roof. The
entrance is also a great piece of building. The color scheme is perfect,
espicially with those bits of red and blue on the corners. Well done. -Keith

Wow, I can’t believe someone actually counted, I didn’t!! Thanks, that number
sounds about right (I bet it is), I had 1000 of them available, and am left with
about 1/4.

The fact I didn’t do both roofs like this was three-fold: I wanted to finish the
buidling over easter weekend, and had “only” 1000 tiles, which would have not
been enough to cover all. Second, I wanted some variation, as many of such
buildings were build, and later an addition was build on. That was a bit of
background. Third is that the many angles in the shape of the other roof does
not work well with the tiles, as they overlap per row, and straight lines are
only half-covered, or stick over by half a tile. In concave corners, there are
also problems, but some day I may try it anyway. Thanks for your kind comments,
hope this explains the dual-type roofing.

What? Someone counted them all? Who? Certainly not me. Well, I counted 37 of
them, but that’s it. After that it was just a matter of doing some simple
multiplication and adjusting quantities a bit here and there for stuff like the
chimney and the staggered pattern.

Greetings.
Whoa, that’s a really trippy design. Your model really caught my attention so I
felt I’d give you some props on your aesthetics here.
The whole thing is consistent, nice and uniform, but not at all flat like some
sililar nuances I’ve seen to the tudor style. I like this, and would like to see
some more of your stuff.
In short: I bet it was a swift kick in the a$$ fund-wise. (those windows
don’t run cheap you know, which is a good reason why my inventory is quite
restricted.)

Whoa...dude! It’s been too long (4 months, I think)
nice to see you posting something again.
What do you think of the side-bar in your absence fellow curator?
ps... I was lucky this time and ended up not having to go overseas...
(wheew! Knocking on wood, just to make sure!)
anyways, sorry to hijack the thread, but its good to see you posting something
here on Lugnet. You are most welcome here!!!

Certainly.
I’ve been pretty much ‘dead’ here due to college stuff : getting
up to snuff with my drawing skills and nailing gestures for
figure drawing. Naturally, thinking about those things tends to
sap from other endeavors for some odd reason. (including some
of my writing, which isn’t too good!) I’m hanging in there, though.

Well, I can faithfully say it looks better than something I’d pull
off. (I suppose yaron jumped the gun on some of this as well? :)
When I get some time to look around for more interesting research
topics, I’ll add them to the reccommended links area. (I’ve got
time sunday to look around and see what I can scrounge up.
hint hint : industrial revolution content.)

Yeah, I should really get back to doing lugnet things...I’ve been casually
watching .general, and checking out other places such as the vcl, but
that’s not lego related. Lugnet’s still the same welcoming place as
always, though, so that’s a good thing.
