      Thanks. I forgot to mention the man robbing/with undefined motives
climbing the silver shop. And I'll get better at the pics...

      I really liked the boat builder (figures). It is a unique marketplace
size only possible in my town square specs. (The town Square still fits 8
normal marketplace streets quite well, as you see in the pics.)
      The fountain took a while but in the end I liked it although you have
to see it in context to get that it's water : )
      I will admit I am proud of the stocks (and the apple scene). I wonder
if the pieces exist to do it in brown?

(...) Hey Nathan, I just checked on Peeron and there are no Technic 1 x 4 beams in brown. :( I guess we just have to build stone stocks. Josh (23 years ago, 10-May-03, to lugnet.castle)
