This is ammazing. Red, in this type of building doesn't bother me. The other colors really help this out.

For cheese!

I think it would make great a tavern/inn . Look at all the windows.

Cheers.

I want to go to Europe someday to see buildings like this. Very bright and colorful!

If the witch weighs more then does that mean she burns at the stake?
"She weighs more...she's a witch! Burn her, burn her!"

Ectually the buildings are red. They are build with the tipical baked clay stones. Here is an original picture of the waag in Nijmegen:

Haha, I haven`t seen that weight the first time, thanks for pointing out the detail.

Haha! Dat verhaal ken ik nog niet. Ik wist niet dat je ook uit nederland komt, leuk om te horen.

Cool MOC - it's full of a wide selection of bright colors (that somehow manage not to clash or attack my eyes), it's very big, full of detail in the building technique, and bustling with mini-fig life. I really like this, although I have never seen the real thing. Too bad there is no interior, but I guess if I had spent all that time building this, I'd be way too tired for tile floors and furniture.

Cheese?

They used to weigh witches!

By the way, the real thing is from Nijmegen, IIRC.

it's a very cool moc! some might think it's too red, but the colours are very realistic

every duch merchant town had one of those, it was used to weigh products and to do merchant transactions. it also functioned as the city's customs unit, where taxes on trade imports could be carried out.

btw, the last time i saw this building for real, i was drunk!
