I just got two rolls of film back with more pics of my castle creations.
Seeing as I just spent the last week laying out a 32 page mailorder catalog at
my job, I wasn't too excited to spend more hours posting all of the pics, but
at least I got a couple of my Inn up. I'll post more after the holiday my
brain recovers from the computer-induced haze!

Ohmigod.
Beautiful.
I'm in shock.
And I remember why I never put a web page up with my own
castle creations ... they just don't compare. However, I see
plenty of wonderful building methods I plan to crib demonstrated
here. Thanks =)
Wonderful stuff, Daniel.

I hope you recover soon and post more pics!!! I noticed in your Inn
something somewhat close to what I've been thinking of doing and I
wasn't sure how it would look, now I'm definately going to try it on
what I am going to start building this weekend! of course I'm not going
to say just what it is till I'm done building!
Do you have it hinged to open like your Farm? I really like the way that
one opens up to get to the inside.
Let us know when you've got more pictures up!

In N AMerica it's usually called "Tudor" (and of course there isn't any
real Tudor, it's all mock Tudor". Growing up in the UK I always heard it
called "half timbering". The (british) book I have about it calls it
"Timber Framed" and says the common names are "half timber" and "black
and white". Confused yet? The "Tudor" name usually refers to modern
copies of the style which are purely decorative.
It orginated in Britain and Europe before the Middle Ages (earliest
surviving buildings in Britain are 13th century) and looks the way it
does because the black parts are the timber frame (not always black,
incidentally, often "aged timber" color in buildings which have not been
painted to make them look more like what people thought "black-an-white"
should look like!) and the white (or other color) parts are infill of
various kinds: may be wattle-and-daub (woven branches - the "wattle" -
and mud mixed with straw and dung - the "daub"), oak laths or boards,
thin slabs of stone, or brick. These were limewashed (except brick,
often left natural) hence the white panels.
One thing that always bothers me about most Lego interpretations is that
the horizontal black lines are only one plate thick, whereas the
uprights are of course one brick wide. The uprights and horizontal
timbers should be about the same thickness.
The really difficult part in Lego is the diagonal bracing. I am planning
to try out some ideas for solving both these problems soon...

I think that your buildings are magnificant. For some reason I find buildings
very difficult to model. I am hopeing that using your buildings as inspiration
will help me along to path to making better buildings.
Great work!

Incredible!!! Great design. Great tudor realism. I love the Inn and the
castle. Wow!! Wish I had space for something that immense.

Yes but here in the USA it's called Tudor :)
