Hey, that's super, I really like the beacon, it's a good addition.

As far as any other buildings, you could always go with the tried and true blacksmith's shop. An inn would be neat, but large. You could try something like a tailer's, or perhaps cobler (shoe maker). A small barraks or a home would also be quite acceptable, perhaps the home of a scribe?

Anyways, keep it coming I look forward to the completion!

It's a great little port community. I like how you added in some merchant style ships, something that you don't see a lot of in the castle community, outside of the CCC contests.

Really nice! I like how you did the wall. Most people think of palisades as being one log thick, but many were thicker and could be walked on, like yours. Very nice!

Great work. I like how you have set one of the buildings on an angle. I also really like the landscaping. Well done

This looks like a great little town. I really like the wooden defensive wall. The cliffs look great. Is that smoke (Lego bricks) coming out of that chimney?

Overall it is nice looking town. I would like to see it expand. Or at least move the buildings around and take more photos, so as to look like a bigger town.

Thanks for sharing your work.

I am planing to make a few more additions, like a few more sections to the town. Probably two more. It is supposted to be a small, sea side town. Later I might make a tower out in the water on a small island as a defence measure ment, but I'm not sure. I am planing to build bigger, for as you see, it is a Town Section.
Great work. I like how you have set one of the buildings on an angle. I also really like the landscaping. Well done
Thank you.
Wow, I wish I had that many bricks. But sadley I dont.
You will. Really there isn't much bricks under the green. It actually is pretty hollow. For the wall, cliff, and most of the green plates is actually from the Viking Fortress.
Thank you and good luck building up your collection.
Really nice! I like how you did the wall. Most people think of palisades as being one log thick, but many were thicker and could be walked on, like yours. Very nice!
Thank you. I did that on the palisade wall because it needed to be thicker, just like you said. It was also because those wall pieces have those curved out backs that don't look realistic... Therefore I build it back to back.
Great job George! I really like it from the first picture. I would love to see the rest of it! I can't wait for the rest of them!
Thanks Thomas. The rest of the pictures are up, and the interiors are on their way!

Thanks a lot Spongey!

Thanks for the replies so far.

This is an engrossing little (only in the sense that it implies more beyond it's boundaries) MOC. I like the fall trees, small harbour, and detailed tudor. The figs are also well placed. Good work!

God Bless,

Nathan
