(...) Wow! I can see why you are a professional model maker. This model is a step above even the excellent models displayed here by enthusiasts. I think this is in part due to the artistic flavor of the model. The colors chosen and their placement (...) (21 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) Thanks for your comments! This is only one instance of using non-LEGO parts. Ususally I would never do this as I always have said - anything can be built in LEGO. But I really wanted to make this look as realistic as possible, in the right (...) (21 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) Thanks Kevin! Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for the trees. Those were designed by a friend of mine in the modelshop. They were actually for sale this last year in the park at Christmastime. Might still have some left for sale, except the (...) (21 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) Aw, go on, you make me blush! Thanks! I'm not sure I know what you mean by the top door.

That's a beautiful model, Bill. I too would love to see some more detailed photos of it. When you say "next time I get some photos developed", am I to understand that you are using a film camera, not digital? Get with the times, man! I'm sorry. I (...) (21 years ago, 27-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
