(...) I've been messing around with some similar stuff, but nothing much past figuring out a good scale. James (URL) getting paid for this --> alladvantage.com Sign up via me, the reference $$ go to fund Lugnet. (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Pretty nice, darlin'! I like the way you did the Inn roof; I'd never thought of something like that. Now, you need to expand and make a HUGE town. Maybe for part of it you could use that baseplate I sent you... -Chris (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks! It took me a while to figure out. At first I just used an apex piece and a peak, but it didn't look right and anyway that's not what I'm gonna do to the bigger inn's roof. (...) Well, the BP you sent me will join the others I'm about (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) It worked out really well,especially the Inn's roof. I haven't seen microfig scale used for a townscape (I must get out more, :) ). Maybe Australians should work in that scale exclusively (Lego prices in Oz). Could you whip up a bigger town, I (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks! (...) Hmm... when I started, the only things I decided for sure were: a. my inn had to be part of it b. the whole town had to fit on an island baseplate I had no idea how many buildings will be there whatsoever - just that there will (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hee, hee. Here's another one for you to reply to. One comment, and I'll quit buggin' you. ;) You should do a NANOfig scale city (1x1x3 skyscapers, small buildings as 1x1 plates, etc. Just an idea, I don't know how it'd look. -Chris (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) For baseplates that are completely flat (i.e. no vertical geographical features like hills) all you have to do is flip it over and bend it a few times in different directions. Then, of course, you have to spend a few minutes looking for some (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Shiri - I think you've really come on to something. You could use it as a base map, like in the CastleWorld map, and then have each building as a link - like to the Bloodstone Inn. I'm thinking that that's what I'm gonna do when I get a (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
