(...) Hi Matija, Thanks for the reply and info. The reason i chose for tan is that i thought it would be easier to find the pieces in large quantities. There are between 1300 and 1500 tan bricks 1x4 log used. Also, if you take a look around the (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.town)

Love this planner! I have often thought it would be a good tool to "see" what is being built. I had one small nit to pick about an otherwise totally gorgeous layout: Are the sidewalks raised up at all? I cannot see any sort of curb. (17 years ago, 27-Sep-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
