 | | First block of Main Street for Brikwars, Train, or Modern town display

| Well I won't go into to much detail here because most of it is on the web page. The origional inspiration for this was buildings others brought to NELUG's Brikwars games although I had stopped work on it for the last month or two as I got distracted (...)

| Very cool! I for one am impressed! I really like the look of the corner building. Reminds me of a lot of suburban downtowns with retail on the bottom, and trendy apartments up top. Only suggestions I'd make are: Some kind of exterior covered (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

The assumption being that the stairs were accessed there and it was not a secondary entrance to the store. (...) I have been thinking about (...)

I was thinking the other day that I was telling you how I could never do buildings and how they always just turned out to be 4 walls and a roof. :-) I guess I (...)

| (...) Hey Eric, I'm not sure the small one-story building with the triangular sign sticking out above the sidewalk is a store at all. What it really reminds me of is a small, one or two screen movie theater - the kind of operation that's being (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

And, I also think that little shop w/ the marquee(sp) should become a little one-screen movie theater. I also like the look of paved sidewalks, (...)

| Eric, I was sure it was a theater, like the one in Davis square or the empire on Mass ave. Just add another nondescript story to it. The sign is my favorite part of the whole bloc (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
