(...) Very nice! Excellent use of parts. Particularly the corner 1x1 panels as chairs. On the peaks of the bungalow roofs, are there fences embedded in there to give that cool effect?

(...) thank you, i'm glad you "feel" the space! the lounge chairs aren't made with cheese wedges, although that is a really great idea, but i've just checked and they aren't made (yet!) in any colour that would have suited. instead, i used the 1x1 (...)

Very nice! You combine two of my least faviourite building styles (town and microscale) into a beautiful creation. I love the perspective and scale as well as the realistic layout. Keep up the good work! God Bless, Nathan (17 years ago, 23-Aug-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
