Awesome Jon. I really like the hill. I'm NOT a fan of landscape that relies heavily on slopes, but I *really* like that hill. And the interior details, and exterior details add a great touch to the MOC. About the door; I believe Heather Patey did a (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

As some of you have no doubt seen by now, I have introduced Timmy to the IOM tales. The problem is finding adequate resources to explain the history of Timmy in the Lego world.

That is why there are so many Timmy genes. Now he is cursed with paradox, and bad (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.castle.org.cw)

WOW! This is beautiful, Jon! You've done a wonderful job on the green hill and the details like the windows and flowerbeds. It looks very homely and hobbitlike indeed. My only question/contructive criticism is that you might want to make a back to (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The most hilarious treatment of the "Timmy" subject can be found, of all places, in Mike Rayhawk's Brikwars manuel.
