    I like it. I think if you made the walls tan or grey it might look better in the snow. Steve

    Looks like an homage to the cafe corner on the bottom left and the green grocer in the middle middle... And a real homage to the Cafe Corner on the hands of the guy on the far right... Nice to see some more residential looking upper stores too. The flowershop looks a little shallow, but maybe that is just an illusion from the picture. Steve

    Yes. I enjoyed them both. Steve

    I'd suggest more brown crossbeams for the house. Steve

    I don't see an Airport, as it would not fit with the downtown motif. I am also against a train station, because there is nowhere for the tracks to run with the other buildings. Police station seems redundant to the Detective Office, Steve

    I kind of thought it was referring to architecture sets. Big Ben is an interesting theory though. Steve

    What does imagine you can fly refer to? Steve

    I like it. Steve

    I want to see it in real bricks. Steve

    I wonder if you could put a motor in it to make the ships spin? Steve

    I think Astrid did a good job on both. I don't like the limo, but the rest of the Cinema is very nice. My only complaint about the town hall is that it is a little too tall next to some of the other ones. I am not sure it is fair to blame her for the stickers... Steve

    So the horses buck? Steve

    Do you have any pictures of the mechanism you used to make the Knights move? Steve

    A couple of wedge plates might work for a flat or delta kite. Or maybe some of those triangle road signs clipped on the tubing? Steve

    Vikings are a great project. I can tell you what I did. Decide to write a Johnny Thunder adventure involving a lost tribe of vikings. Start with a building or two. Fiddle with expanding it to a large set. Decide your photography/photoshop skills aren't up to the task. Scrap the whole project. Dabble in other stuff for a couple of years. Decide to restart again with a large display piece. Build a bunch of buildings. Decide you don't have enough bricks to do what you have in mind and put all of the buildings aside for later. Get interested in building Egypt and start playing with that. Then get really obsessed with Egypt and cannibalize all your viking buildings for tan to build Egypt, all while promising to get back to the original Viking story someday. Anyhow, I would advise that you just start building. Then supplement that with a flickr search or a brickshelf search for inspiration... I also would suggest to do a google image search of viking houses for more inspiration. Maybe netflix that history channel Vikings show to watch while you build? I am a shameless copier of other people's designs, though I do try to put my own spin on them. I am not sure what you mean by construction manual, but I don't think utilizing the resources available is a bad thing. I'd also gather a lot of brown, dark brown and tan. You're going to need a lot more than 100 to really get anything of size. I don't think you need to buy the sets, to be honest, apart from the figures (and the ship), there isn't much to them that would be useful for MOCing a village. I think this would be a good set to get brown at a reasonable price. I look forward to seeing what you come up with... Steve

    Here is a box kite that I did and another and another. Steve

    Well that is one $#%& of an introduction. Love the serpent. Steve

    You are off to a solid start. I'd to add more detailing (or castle greebling, if you will). On the official models there is hardly any uninterrupted color bricks. The magic shop upper right, however, is pretty dull. Maybe a protruding window, would help? Similar problem on the other building too. Its a hard line to walk, too far on the one side you'll get a pretty flat wall, on the other you'll get a busy mess. Steve

    It looks like a red brick Isengard. Steve
  20. Athos
    Those are all really good. I'm going to try to make some similar ones and use power functions to make the props spin. I was going to say that I really like the first one, but after looking again, I cannot decide which one is my favorite... Steve

    Better hope it is a hospital or it looks like you're going to need one, CM4Sci... Steve
  22. Athos
    Hospital would make a lot of sense. We've recently gotten bandaged figures, crutches, wheelchair and babies for the pediatric unit. Plus there is the surgeons hat, the mold for which has not been reused. I don't like the idea of a train station. There is nowhere for the tracks to go, to allow it to fit with the other modulars.

    How do you make the crane bucket go up and down? Steve
  24. Athos
    Does the elevator go up and down automatically? Or do you have to manually change the direction? Steve
  25. Athos
    How do the magnets connect? And will they work through the thickness of a plate and a tile? Steve
