Frank, that was a truly awesome MOC of yours, and I thought it was perhaps the best part of the entire town. It would be great to see pics up some tme, when you have modified it. cheers Magnus (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Well, to handle the docks problem, you could build the dock 3-4 bricks high, then put a retaining wall on the village side so the water won't flood. Then you can put ladders up to the dock. It works because you only need about a 2 brick high (...) (22 years ago, 21-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates)

Hi all, I'm in the process of building a dock-side town and am wondering how to go about it. You see, I guess one would normally like to have docks which are 3-4 bricks high, but does that mean the entire village must be elevated by this much. How (...)
