But, consider that Belville is part of LEGO
SYSTEM. There is no reason to limit oneself to the
pieces that come with the Belville sets. I
currently have a doll house and a barn sitting on
a desk all built to Belville scale. The house is
three stories high complete with kitchen,
bedrooms, bath and living areas. The barn has
stalls for several horses plus haymow and people
quarters upstairs. These are the second
generation dwellings I have built to this scale and
if I had more time and white bricks, I would be
planning the third generation. I also have my
Belville children flying around in Technic
helicopters, riding in Technic beach buggies and
generally terrorizing the Mini-fig scale town. :-

I would agree that Belville sets—as sold—
offer little building possibilities, but the same
might be said of too many TLG sets nowadays.
Cheers, WES
