Oh my word...that is incredible.

Cool! Sending this to my son. He was an avid Lego builder back in the day. We still have all of his legos stored up on the third floor. Maybe this will inspire him to build me a house. :mrgreen:

Incredible, finally an old house I could afford to restore.

The one with the really gnarly looking tree had been posted here before (with high-res close-ups), but it's awesome to see more of them. These are simply amazing!

Love it but I was always a HUGE fan of Lego

I had one of these back in the 70's and loved it http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=264-1

The smooth tiles were so much fun for other projects such as building a small house with lots of details (my windows had shutters) and using a smooth tiles to 'make' a bed? :shock:
Perhaps that's why I lost interest in this room set too soon. I always liked to look through the small houses windows and imagine living there.
