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 be as many as possible without cluttering.
I have two island BPs, one is 32x32 (the one I used) and the other is 16x16.
The 16x16 one was way too small. So I went for the big one.
I played around with the inn for a while. I built it, took it apart, rebuilt
it, added some more, it fell apart, I rebuilt it again... you get the
picture ;-) When I was finally satisfied I started the peasants houses. I sort
of improvised with the few tan bricks I had, and used up all the peaks from my
three roof packs. The stone house came sometime in between... I really wanted
those slopes Erik Olson thought of (1) for that house... if you look closely,
you'll see a red 1x1 cone where I was dying to put a studless 1x1 slope piece!
Err... back to my point, I was talking about... hmm... um... Oh, scales!
What I was getting at is that I basically just played around with the bricks
and it came out naturallly - once I had one building, I could compare the rest
to it and all went well.
HTH! And thanks for the comments!
