(...) The 1x6x5 wall piece is not so bad. And a little known fact is how old that piece really is. It dates back to the early 80's (maybe even late 70's). It was rarely used, and some of it's few applications included as walls in all three of the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.build)

I like your "generic building." It's very tight with nice color coordination. On the gate house, it does seem a bit plain. You could consider adding a fancier roof or make the top look like an add-on structure in a different color. On my castle, I (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.arch)
