I really like these little vignettes by Makato:

He shows that with a very small MOC you can get a great little scene (these are all on either 6x6 or 8x8 squares). These all fall into Town categories, but Castle builders should take note of the roof on this porch:

I'm going to have to try that out soon.
BTW, here are a couple of other Japanese builders that made similar-style vignettes:

I wonder if they've influenced eachother. Anyway, it's a neat little idea.
