Well the chickens NEEDED to be big to defend off those huge cats! I think
they'd fit in very nicely with Legoland's scale, but not as well with minifig
scale... oh well... at least you can tell what they are :) in "correct" minifig
scale they'd be about a 2x1 or a 1x1 brick? I guess the only way to get one of
those is to wait for the pre-fab piece :( [or we could use the roast chicken
piece from Belville! :) ]

Yeah, after looking at the pictures for the large layout vs. the smaller one, I
really liked the smaller one as a scene a lot more... I would have put the 5
houses a little closer together with more stuff, but that probably wouldn't
have lent itself to photography as easily... (I was thinking of lining a street
with houses, etc...) Anyway, maybe I'll try that in the future...

To date, I don't think I've seen a single other person make a midieval type
HOUSE... (other than Ben Gatrelle's)... the one plausible exception being the
farm posted by Dan Siskind (see his stuff at
http://www.visi.com/~blackened/gallery_castle.html ) Although I'd bet Legoland
Billund has some...

Yeah, those doors are actually what limited me to building only 5 houses
(although I have another one in blue which I'll probably use)... I got them in
6080 (King's Castle), 6062 (Battering Ram), and 6761 (Bandit's Secret Hideout--
my one treasured brown door hinge [and the blue door came in 6067])... I might
build doors out of regular bricks too if need be...

Cool! Can't wait to see the pics! Given that most houses supported multiple
people and the innkeeper would live in his own inn (with a couple others
probably), we might all together have a village capable of nearly realistically
supporting 15-20 peasants! That's more than 14 times the number of "real"
peasants I own! I can't wait to assemble all of it for TCS...
