Lenny, Awesome job. Well noted about the roofs. I am partial to tan plates
(representing thatch) as opposed to black slopes as a medieval roof. Black
LEGO bricks rub me the wrong way in general. It is hard to distinguish any
detail - especially all black castles. Hmmm....tan slopes?
I believe you caught the interior of the house *very* well. As far as the
exterior, to make it look less "tudor" and more "daub-sish". Use brown 1x1x5
for the timbers and tan (as opposed to white) for the daub.
Great building! Anymore medieval houses coming soon?
