I see...more as a lego version of yourself...stories like these always
turn out in a way other than expected...

Hmm...if you want to read my castle story (more detail here, though...),
check out this link

Unfortunately for me, the lack of a digital camera makes it so lots of
written detail is nearlt mandated in order to descibe the setting, so you
guessed it,
I'm pushed more onto a classic storytelling stance myself. (well, it's a
hobby of mine anyway...)

I have yet to buy a Blacksmith shop, but then again, I need more
10000 (Guarded Inns) too, so...

Hmm...I'm still in the drawing plan for my medieval village, although
I've amassed a small quantity of older castle sets, but it's parts
as simple as grey bricks and red sloped bricks that keep me from even
starting the project.

5 Guarded Inns? My budget wouldn't nearly allow that or my wallet would
be crying for mercy.

Old stuff rarely gets updated. WHen the pictures come, perhaps
it will make more sense.

I've done so many freehand sketches of my next project, I've considered
filing an achive of them.
