(...) Wow indeed. I never thought I'd see an official set like that. It's perhaps a touch overdone - too many colours/details in a relatively small space - but still, wow! With these 2007 sets you are spoiling us, ambassa... er, LEGO. I have vowed (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

Very nice, the brick (as in the 'real' ones ; ) orientation and boarded up windows are great details and the whole street comes across nicely. Thanks for sharing! God Bless, Nathan (URL) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

As you already know from the Brickish Association I love these houses. I think they are my favorite MOC of all time. They are definatly the UK equivalent of Jonathan Lopes' seedy city building, but I can relate more to them! Although everyone in the (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

Hi Alastair, thanks for sharing your architecture creations. I love the way you build these typical houses form England. And you not only did "copy and paste", you added various styles. So life comes into the LEGO bricks. I remember these types of (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

A great concept, beautifully executed. With regards to the planks, everything in LEGO has a degree of cartoonification, so if it gives the right impression without being too distorted, it's valid in my book. Al (who has also just got posting (...) (18 years ago, 5-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
