My latest creation is an entry for the 2002 Town Building Contest. As the subject suggests, this is a small town located next to the sea. The thumbnails are somewhat fuzzy for some reason but the larger pictures are better. (URL) I need to build a (...)

(...) Oh, that is very, very nice. My favorite aspect (amongst many) is the fact that the whole town is "raised up" above sea level, and this continues upwards as you get towards the edge. I love that look, as it is quite a change from the (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks, Mark! I try to build most of my creations up off the baseplates because I think it adds to the realism since a lot of what we see in life is not on flat ground. But, as you said, it requires some extra planning and parts. (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Excellent work, Jason. I really like the overall "feel" of this village. Could you share some thoughts about the "planning and parts" that were required in raising the buildings off the baseplate? Lift well, Andreas Stabno (URL) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Agreed! This is a great design, but the way that one edge is at water level and everything very fluidly travels higher give a great perspective! Great work! Jake --- Jake McKee AFOL LUGNET Member #211 (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) What a great piece. Some of the best work I've seen in a long while that delt with ever increasing heights that wasn't done by professional Lego modelers. The buildings all have a real seaside hamlet feel, and your integration of signage on (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Jason, I think it's great. I love how you mixed the various architectural styles of the biuldings, and included enough seasidey type buildings. The rocks and docks look great, too. Thanks, George (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Jason, This is really and truly gorgeous! I have dreams and aspirations of building a waterfront layout like this, but with more of a gritty/industrial feel to it. But I am stunned by how perfect this looks ... this is beautiful! I too would (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) I really like it! As the others have commented, I really like the landscape. It does have the prefect *feel*. I like the sandy path by the rocks, the raised dock. Just about everything. I'd like to see more people though, more 'life'. Maybe a (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) landscape. Oooh, it just makes all the difference in the world! I wish I had more time to browse the pictures but I've gotta run. In my dreams I'm building a huge, fully landscaped castle. <grin> Awesome job. -Shiri (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) One word, Jason: Congratulations!!! I love this layout and it looks so much like the town "Peggy's Cove" in Nova Scotia where I live. What I appreciate the most is that despite the realism of this layout, there is still the naive feel of Lego (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)

I would like to thank everyone who responded and looked at my little town. I really enjoyed building this particular town. I only wish I had more room in my house so my slopes could have been a little more gradual; but oh well. A couple people have (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.town)
