Well its good that your starting to come out of the shadows. I lurked for a
while until I began posting.
I found your city gate quite an interesting design. The angle of the front
door puzzeled me a bit to the exact angles of each and i think you did a
good job pulling off an interesting design.
The clue characters are great, especially the candlestick. I must say that
is definately one of the most creative interpretations into lego that i have
seen.
I once did Mary Shelley's Frankenstein but i think i lost the pictures
I hope you continue to post and build a voice for yourself.
