David, THanks for the comments, as for your question about set dressing, I can only answer, "I wish!" Actually thee are a lot of detail and art direction roles I'd like, but for now I'll just have to stick to doing it Lego style. I apprecaite your (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

Jon, I really enjoyed looking at your pictures. The exteriors of the building look great, but the interiors are what I really found fun. Using the axe as a pedal for the spinning wheel is brilliant. You've done a great job of adding tables, chairs, (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks Kevin! I wish I could do some more interior stuff, but I was most happy with the small chapel on the top floor, though a chapel should really ground floor, I think. The custom figs were really a great thing when I was young. I used a red (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Jon, Just clicking through a few of the buildings I'm really impressed at your ability to model objects at minifig scale. The Glass Blower and Butcher were especially great. I love the sausage machine! Perchance are you a set decorator? You (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)
