I really like the modular wall...vey formidable and reminiscient of The
Castle Aberwyvern in Stewart McCauley's illustrated book Castle...
Many of us plan on making this

Very Cool! An ongoing/developing medieval Castle/town.
If your effort doesn't insipre more interest (and sales) ...I don't know
what will...
The strength of your design to me is the integration of "traditioal" bricks
vs. BURPS and prefab parts...Very inspirational and architectually
interesting...
I like the color integration...the blue villa compliments the layout, as
does the blue line at the top of the wall...The scale of the INN and Stable
is magnified by the other dwellings/structures...
Your placement of the more humble dwellings around the layout is realistic,
adding to the medieval flavor. I think your display would benefit from the
addition of more minifigures, but I assume this is in the works.(not a
criticism, just a comment = )
I think many customers may be dismayed to find out the Lego boxed sets are
no where near the quality of your display...of course, this may lead to
larger sales in parts packs...
I now wish I had many more roof pieces and tan bricks than I do now (as well
as the room to display my creations)
Is there going to be a "created by NELUG" banner?
(all of you deserve the credit for your creative endeavor)
