Hi All, I was totally inspired by a street of houses that I saw displayed at BrickFest in DC last summer (04) and wanted to build some for myself. Of course I mentioned that I wanted to "copy" these to the original builder (I forgot his name, so sorry!) and he said feel free, so hats off to the original designer of these (please claim them!!!). Here are the originals: from a BrickFest gallery... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=888747 I built a six pack of them; Mearsk Blue, Tan & Blue, Dark Gray & Sand Green, Sand Blue and Blay, Pale Yellow and Yellow, and Medium Brown (Yoda Brown) & Orange. I am not quit done, I have a couple more garages to build and I need to add some exterior details too. Here are some pics...

We have a GATS in late February that we hope to have a large neighborhood ready for. Thanks for taking a look and again hats off to the original builder!!! SteveB
