    Teeny shack —David Eaton
   Well, I started puttering with my bricks last night to start making some peasants' homes last night for NELUG's display TCS. I wanted to make a few shacks (like 3-5), but I also knew I wanted them to ULTIMATELY be in tan & brown.... two nicely rare (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

   (...) shack/chicken coop? If it is a home is there any way to give them at least one window?

     (...) I can't stand the interior... I started building it and only got up a few levels before I realized that I wasn't going to be able to do a nice interior...

   KBKids.com also has one of the Wild West sets on sale. (...) I wouldn't worry too much about shutters. If they had them, it would probably be more like a board which swung down from above. I also wouldn't make the window larger than 2x2 or so (if (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
