I agree, they look great. LMK when the real thing is put up, I don't want to
miss it! Although I can't officially attend NELUG, I hope you won't mind if I
just happen to drop by TCS while you're there and check it out... :-)

That would work really nicely. Craig made nice use of cloth as scenery in his
blue castle pic (sole picture shown in CW).

Cool. I'd love to see that too.

Surely one of the most common types of living in the Middle ages, yet you
don't see lots of these in lego. Great idea!

I'm very interested to see how this turns(turned?) out. My green hill didn't
come out as I'd like it to, and I'm trying to figure out how to redo it for
better effect.

Variety, I like it! I also have both types of women. No old peasants yet, but
coming soon...

I'd love to see how you did the wheel and yarn... weapons shop sounds nice too.
