I like it. It's a little tall though, unless it's supposed to be in a large town, though if it was it would be connected to the other houses. Cool idea for the string, creative. About the bed, I know it is probably that size to hold two figs, but a little smaller (possibly 5W•6L) would look better. I like your chimney, but they usually have the same amount of shafts (at the top) as fireplaces. I see a few gaps between the roof and the floor, try to fill them in. The one thing that I don't like is the choice of red for the floors. It just makes for too many colors. Cool tiles behind the door. Next to the bookcase (which I like, BTW), there is a torso. Is that an example of his work, or does it belong to him (in other words, does he wear it)? If it is his to wear, I hope that it isn't armor. Armor would be too expensive for an artisan or craftsman to own, and if he got it as a gift from someone, he likely wouldn't display it (robbers). All in all, a good MOC.

Edit: Your pics are kinda too large. I can see why you didn't want to deeplink them, B-shelf's auto-resizer helps a lot.

Thanks for your ideas... The reason why I made the red floor was just to look good, but yeah, it does make it alittle to colorful. The bed is just a quicky, I should probably spend some time figuring out a good way to make a bed. The clothing was suppost to be some work he has done, along with a hood he wove, and some extra material behind. The chimney was suppost to be like a double fire place, where the fireplaces both give out the same chimney. (The chimney continues behind the fire on the second floor, and the smoke rises from the second floor fire up the chimney which combines with the smoke from the first floor fire.) I agree; it is too tall. I was trying to avoid that, but didn't succeed. I will try to cut the attic smaller, then, because it would be smaller, the holes would patch up nicer. It isn't so lopsidey tall in real life then in the pics. It looks like a HUGE top TOWERING over a miniscule base, but really, the base could be bigger, but the top isn't really that tall. Thanks for your reply Smcginnis!

I like it, good job for second MOC. The kitchen area really jumped out at me, that hanging flask is a nice touch. I am not crazy about the tudor styling, its too big of a pattern. But this is much better than my first attempts at a tudor building.

I shortened it, so I does look a whole lot better. I will take some pix later today. I will probably never be able to achive a large style MOC, because I don't know how to landscape! I also never plan; I just build. I pause at each level deciding what I want on it

. How do you plan?

i like it

the ouside seemed sorta boring to me and i dono something didnt seem right about it . but the inside was really nice. creative and well done. i liek the cape and hat next to teh witch. also the fireplace. i think that the mismatch of black and grey on teh inside worked well but i did noit really liek it on teh outside for some reason.

PS: also just glanced at your blacksmith and i think that what bothers me about the outside is that the... umm what dowould you call them... well the black lines crossing are too thick. maby make them 2 tall instead of a full brick. (getting a few assortments of plates forom lego is helpfull in solving that)
