I saw this earlier today while browsing Brickshelf and was awed. I particularly like the recessed cross-shaped windows. Too bad that LEGO doesn't make 48X48 baseplates in green. (20 years ago, 27-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hi Marc, I like all three of these houses. The new roofs that you designed are great and very unique. The window design using headlight bricks is also very nice! Ben (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hi David, Your fortified gate is very impressive. I like the size and massing. The doors have an excellent thickness and look very stout. Perhaps the elephant crouched down to get out :) Ben (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hi David, I really like the filled in blades of the windmill. It is an interesting technique. The rest is a bit boxy. Like a sandcrawler with a windmill on it :) But it is really cool that it works. Ben (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

This is a fortified city gate I made for the medieval layout at the Parent-Child Expo in Indianapolis. It sits on 2 baseplates, has a pair of large wooden doors in the middle, has a tower on each side and has a walkway above the gate that spans the (...)

This is a big brown windmill that I made. It turned out a whole lot boxier that I planned, and I didn't really like the overall look of it, so I call it the "propeller box".

This is a market hut of a small village. It's a very simple building, structurally speaking. I've been itching to use my bulk packs of brown 4X2 slopes, and this is what I came up with.
