Sheerly awesome!  I built 3 similar peasant houses/shops which closely
resemble the one Chris created. I have a yellow/black tudor, red/black tudor,
and blue/black tudor. Who needs those specialty tudor pieces when you can
create the same effect on your own!?

Differences and similarities between mine and Chris's:

1) I used either the red or black arched/lattice castle windows along with
shutters for the windows (4 on each house).

2) I took a different approach to the roof. To obtain a more slanted efffect,
I used those triangular angled stud pieces found with many Dragon Master sets.
I then used large plates to fabricate the roof. Of course the roof has studs
on it and isn't smooth, but you can take the roof off easily.

3) The upper level is "flared" out like Chris's

4) used the same style door....on the same side

5) used the same stud baseplate

6) I also neglected the fireplace/chimney until the latter stages

My designs do require some hard-to-find pieces though:
     4 red or black arched castle (lattice) windows
     9 1x1x2 black hinges
     1 wooden-style door
     4 1x4x5? triangular bricks with studs on the angle part
     8 of the smaller shutters

I really encourage everyone to build their own! You will need quite a few 1xN
flat black pieces and many 1x1x1 black bricks to create a good tudor effect.

Maybe I'll get some pictures up someday?

If anyone is interested in pics...please e-mail me kyle@peterson.net as I do
not check this newsgroup often.

Chris, Shiri,  would love to hear some feedback!

They show the house in various stages of construction, as well as the
interior.  Not much interior detail, but peasants had little, right? ;-)
And yes, there's no fireplace in the first interior pic, but there are in the
rest of em...it came later.  (Thanks for the idea Shiri!)

(...) I have also built a bunch of buildings in this style, although with a roof made of roof bricks. You are right about the black 1x1's and plates. I managed to get a near-monopoly on those pieces in the last Auczilla (at great cost!), and snag a (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build)
