One town block with buildings in various architectural styles. From classic to modern... all buildings are my own design, except for cafe corner and market street. I hope you like it! I didn't have time to edit all the images, so please try to (...) (17 years ago, 20-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.arch)

Brendan - Where did the 'cakes' come from? Are they Clickits? I like the photoshop work on the six-fingered giant! I also like the head used for Shimei, and the way you built the donkey. Paul Sinasohn (17 years ago, 19-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
