the NELUG castle display at the Construction Site (see prior messages for

To date, I think the only definite things we have to that respect are a
potential 6091 castle, lots of figs, and Eric's church, and his marketplace.
So, assuming we do a town (which it looks like we will), a brainstorm... what
other structures do we need for a town?

Here's a couple of ideas I had... feel free to add:
- Kinds of shops:
   o Scribe
   o Tavern/Inn

Well here is a project that just seemed to spring out of thin air.

I was just experimenting with using the new castle wall pieces (The one that
comes with King LEO).  It started out as a barracks but quickly turned into
more of an Inn (A very large Inn).  I then started experimenting with roofing
styles and it got bigger.  At the moment the structure looks like it is going
to cover 6 16x32 Tan baseplates.  The structure, which is not detailed in the
interior yet, includes the Inn, a Tavern, and probably a stable as well.  There
is a courtyard in the middle and most of the structure is 2 stories high.

The structure is fairly modular and I have tried to account for interior
detailing in the future.  Like I said this was totally unplanned and started
out as an experiment and it just grew from there.  Anyway I don't know if this
is to big for our project at TCS but I would like to include it if there is
room.  I plan on completing the exterior structure over the next week and a
half to two weeks and I will be posting pictures at that time.

If you think that this is going to be to big we don't have to use it.


In other area's my market has not grown yet it is still just the 4 shops.  I
tried doing a flower shop but I don't have enough flowers yet to have a shop
and to landscape my creations at the same time.  If we decide to use my inn I
probably won't do any more structures so that everyone else can have a chance
to include something.  Of course I am always happy to contribute landscaping
(Trees, BURP mountains, etc) as well so I can work on that if we need them.

Hi NELUG, I sure wanted to attend your meeting last Monday but it was really impossible to get in from New York. Now I'm driving over this weekend to see the TCS store (ok it's not the only reason.) Also I would love to contribute a piece to the (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)
