Cool!  You've got the basic feel of the huts down.

Now, it would be cool if you made a proper village and populated them with
islanders!  :)

Hi all,

A very long time before I became a member of LUGNET, I built these Dagada
Lautem houses. I got most of the idea first from a computer game, then from
an Indonesian-style architecture book. One of the pictures in that folder is
a shot from the book.

Here's the link: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=39049

The Dagada Lautem tribe, on the island of Timor, construct these type of
houses. Some of these houses now have masonry plinths, featuring some of the
Portugese influence that came in the 17th century. I think the ladders are
not only to let the people get to the top of the platform, but can be pulled
up in case of a flood or some ground-level problem such as a hungry carnivore.

FINALLY! A place for the Islanders to live in.

Thanks.

PS: I have put this previously, but alas from the followup error I had, I
have to do it again.

Cheers (*clink*)

(...) I was going to populate the huts, but I couldn't do it for 3 reasons. 1. I have only one pirate kit---Eldorado Fortress. 2. I have no islander figs. 3. The people who live there have dark skin, not yellow. Thanks. Cheers (*clink*) Dean (22 years ago, 5-Apr-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.build, lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.arch)
