Michael -
Those are all sweet!
I like the accessbility you built into the houses. I mean what good is
having a house that is detailed (1) if you can't .see. the detail inside, right?
For some reason, I really like the maiden with the tan bricks rather than
minifig legs -- it just reminds me of a leather skirt and seemed to be a
nice touch, even if it is 'simple'.
The use of car doors on carriage is a nice touch. Man, I wish we'd get more
doors again... but that's a .town thing. :)
Hope you keep them built till next time we get together. I'd like to see
these all in person.
