Hi guys,
I have one two-story plus attic medieval townhouse built. I want to try to make
a few hovels next. (Those are pits in the ground with a crude roof overhead.)
I've got quite a few peasant characters and some livestock in crude pens.
I've got a very large collection of tree-building parts. (if anyone would like
to help with those, they're welcome over for a mini-build-fest.)
I built a fragment of new castle (about 24x32) that's like a lookout post, built
into craggy rock.

I've got a full bucket + of gray 1xn's. Also many, many tiny 1x3?,1x4 gray arch
bricks. And...
Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I've got a pretty huge collection
here to build from. So, once you've gotten some pictures of the style and a
general plan, I (or I with help) can build sections of what you need.
I'm still reading to catch up on in this thread, but sounds like fun.
-Suz.
