Marc,

Great pictures! Wheredya get all that LEGO?

As much as I'd love to take credit for all that cool stuff, only the
timberframe houses, the black magic shop, and the elephant are mine. The rest
was brought by other people for the Castle display at Brickfest 2000. The big
castles in the center were built by Christina Hitchcock of WAMALUG; the outer
wall was mostly Rich Schamus' (also WAMALUG), although Shiri and I also brought
segments; the big grey inn with the red roof is Shiri's.

I promised Chris that I'd get a few pictures of my creations to him to put up
on CW.

I also forgot to mention that 1x4x1 black arches are important to get for my
models as well.

I used those with the magic shop to hold the red arched windows. I think they
look too snooty on my regular houses, though.

Try this:  Wherever you have your windows, add an inverted 2x2x1 sloping brick
below the window so that the window rests on half of the brick.  On the
exposed 1x2 section place a 1x2 flat single stud piece, and then get
a "basket" and put flowers in it.  Now all of your windows have flowers just
outside. It really adds a lot to the houses!! And I believe it adds a touch of
accuracy!

That is a good idea, but I think it would make my village too pretty. I'm kind
of going for a drab, dirty look (except for the huge bright yellow inn, I
guess). I did just build a red house with a yellow door and shutters. I might
try it on there.

Marc, great job on the houses and castles! • Thanks!

-Kyle
