I seem to be full of 'for the second time tonight' observations; anyways, it would seem to be too busy/too much detail. I find that I am seeing too many different colours, but am wondering if that is just because it cannot be appreciated by looking at a photograph? I understand that you are recreati...

A beautiful creation. At first I thought it looked a bit busy, but that is likely just because I am only getting to appreciate it in a photograph. The details you have included in the 'construction' picture literally made me say 'wow'. And for the second time tonight/morning I have to thank someone ...

I really like the close-up of the fighting as far as pics go; unfortunately, the others incorporate too much of an unwanted background (wall racking). May I suggest shooting the pics again with a plain background, which would help to focus the attention on this fine creation? Maybe some more close s...

What, only four of the bony buggers - surely they will have their coccyges kicked with the quill being mightier than the sword?

Clever creation, and thanks for answering the question - I wonder what a light/dark gray tiled floor would look like?

Nicely done. I especially like your colour choices, placement of minifigs, and the overall design (especially the height).

I have to agree with others that it needs a bit of landscaping or such.

Add me to the list whose eyes were captured by the printed arch - it certainly 'pops'. I also like the 'burning' cauldron, and I have to agree it is hard to photograph elements like that well. Lee.

Well, I am stunned into silence. This is truly a beautiful creation and ranks with one of the best I have seen. Hands down my favourite element is the stained glass. Lee.

I was wondering how long before somebody made him. I am just playing the game now (with call of duty 4 and the newest star wars Lego game waiting on the table). Nice job.

The scene is quite nice, but it is the chair that is the crowning jewel - brilliant design. Thank you for including a close-up (much deserved) of the chair as I may have to borrow it some day.

A lovely design. I especially like how you created the roof on the main building - very clever. Lee.

Well, I will have to add myself to the "it needs more contrast group". Unfortunately, I also have to hang my head as I have no suggestion on how to remedy said perceived 'deficiency'. :oops:

At any rate, it is very well done and a great concept.

Very nice job, and I as well have to comment on the consistency of the scale. The Lego troll seems to popping up in a few creations, but yours is the first to make it seem 'at home'.

Great colour choices - different from the typical (red)brown caves.

Nice job, the buildings are a bit too colourful for my tastes, but that is just my opinion.

It is not often that I think to myself that the presence of studs makes a design, but they really do add to the patterning of the 'ground'.

A very nice, and busy, design. Everywhere I look there is something to see, and your use of minifigs really brings this creation to life. Lee

My first thought was - "A red roof - what the heck?" Then as I flipped through your pics I realized that the roof could not be any other colour and still look this good (except maybe brown).

A lovely creation and a very clever use of the turntable bases. Lee.
