Hi all,
Here is my largest marketplace layout to date. 20 shops on 32
16x16 lots :
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=42268
I hate to whine but the pictures really turned out terrible compared to
the actual effect, but hey. The whole thing was built in a hotel in under a
week, out of about 6 shoeboxes. Then I found I had to leave early so all I
could do was snap some pics between demolishings.
One more note. I tried to add some interesting life snippets eg The man
getting hit by the apple intended for the stocks, the princess and
bodyguards, the 'plank accident', and the escaping convict.... Let me know
what you think.
For those who want to see any building by itself you can see all of
them (I think) here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=42352
If anything is missing that you want to see I probably have a pic
somewhere so email me ( njt@london.com ).
For the extremely detailed here is a list of shops and products : )
(The links are for the fronts of the stores but most of the backs are
pictured in the folder above).
1-3) The Barrel Maker, Twin Hawk Tavern, and Sculptur:

| Wow, Nathan, that is quite impressive. I understand about the pictures. Anytime I take pics of my layouts, they aren't as good as seeing it in person. I like your snippets of life, I try to do those as well. In my market layout I have a guy getting (...) (21 years ago, 3-May-03, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) I definetely have the same problem with my pictures. YOur layout is quite nice. I especially enjoy how each building looks very unique. My favorites were the boat builder and the map maker.

| That is really really really cool. I like it! It makes me want to try my own. Very inspiring. I love all the details and daily life 'events'. It really brings it to life. I hope you didn't demolish it completely and rebuild it. I want more! show us (...) (21 years ago, 4-May-03, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) For under a week, your layout doesn't look bad, (it would take my a few months of bricklink orders to take on an endeavor such as that) but I really think it could use a bit more in terms in keeping all of the colors pretty much natural, since (...)

| (...) the pictures are OK actully, they not look bad at all (...) I remember I was in London a couple of years ago, and bought some LEGO and couldn't hold myself from opening the sets and build them. But it's a real shame you had to disassamble (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.castle)
