Dear Lego® Enthiusiasts,

Some more pictures are published in a gallery at 1000steine.de

The building uses lots of SNOT building techniques (windown upside down -
halftimbered part completely snotted, first floor all in SNOT too). But • despite
of that fact it is quite stable, because in the inside there are extra walls
that hold the SNOT-parts together. That means the walls have in total a
thickness of 3 studs, what makes the building a real heavy weight.

I don't believe I have ever seen anyone build a wall sidways like this.  very
interesting.

The first floor might be without prototype so far. But the basement was much
more complicated. I always loved this kind of building technique like done
here in Legoland Billund:

That is in the end very similar to the half-timbered basement of my station
building. I would love to try this stone-wall in a church building, but it
works only for quite big wall areas - which oversteps my amount of grey tiles
and dark gray plates by far.

Kind Regards,

Ben
