Wow Nathan, I finally got the chance to check out your BS folder, you've got

use of the GI red walls too, I don't have enough of these walls yet.

   Thanks,

       I saw your inn (I think it was yours) when I first stumbled across
Lugnet, some time before I began to contribute. I have always used bases but
this one just sat around untill I saw yours then I set it in a "to use"
pile. Some time later I saw it and since I was planning an inn built this
one. This is the great thing about the web and lego: 'Sharing' ideas. I
would have credited you but I saw so many more models on this base I began
to think it was in common use.

CastleVillage: I love the green roofed building, very interesting way to >combine
slopes and plates in a roof. it would be nice to build another one of these >and
put them back to back to create a full roof.


  I was always proud of that one and will do a full building with that roof
soon.

Rare Co building: Tasty rare parts inside :) I'm jealous! I'd like to get my
hands on a couple of them, when does this shop open?? ;)

  Took me a while to assemble them, and the only to be shown up by jojo (LOL).

Waterfall: Interesting, I like how it opens and very roomy, just what a >marauder
needs to store their booty.


   This building was the first of my Lugnet worthy models (depending on your
standard). I saw a blue burp on bricklink and this idea came to me.

'Bank': Interesting design, I like the height, it's not to high, yet enough >to
be an anchor building in a town. Good use for those sharp angle 'arches', >though
I think I would have preferred a rounder arch there.


   So would I, but pieces can dictate (or the lack of).

Statue shop: interesting hodgepodge of colors, nice way to handle missing >blue
corner slopes, is that the same deal in the roof? with the grey bricks in >place
of missing corners? Only thing I'd suggest, is put some of his 'wares' out on
the sidewalk, show off what he does.  Or create a 'sign' where the missing >blue
corner sits and build a statue on it. You could probably actually fit 2 on >there
which would allow it to still be a corner store.


     Again lack of pieces in the roof but the canopy was intentional (those
are 2x4 slants with no fitting corner piece to my knowledge).

I don't know if you still have all of these creations built, that waterfall
would be a very nice addition to a small village if you still have it built. >And
gives you the ability to wind a small river throughout.


     Alas, just about all my lego, including the waterfall pieces, is in New
Zealand (where I am moving). I used almost all of my odd assortment of
remaining pieces in my marketplace. It is made up of 8 shops (only 3 posted
but the rest coming soon). And the last of my pieces are in a nice watermill
(speaking of rivers) similar to the inn which I'll post soon.

Keep up the great work!
Tamy

         Thanks for the detailed comments and God Bless,

                      Nathan
