The buildings were all built seperately so getting them to look decent
together was a bit of a challenge. I am surprised how many peolpe like the
green grocer (one of my least faviorites ;) ). I did like my use of the
knight's kingdon wheels in it though.

Yes and No. Each building fits MM standard perfectly with the exception
of the overhang rules and a few ally lengths here and there (how straight
was a medieval street anyway?) If I take the brown street out they all
function as normal medieval marketplaces (with green indented roads). I
personaly would like to see a town made up of streets like mine with mm
standard streets jutting off all over (with the help af securities firm type
buildings). I think this would give a nicer uneven feel to it. (I've tried
it and it looks pretty good...)

Yeah, I was going for the first displayable marketplace (and as no one
lives out my way I had to build it all myself).

Or blacksmiths from lego :).
On another note I have plans for two great new marketplaces (construction
to start as soon as I find a house).
God Bless and thaks for your comments,
