Yes, with modifications, I can see them as western houses, vacation cabins, all sorts of uses! I'm actually pretty excited about it. I think it's the best small house we've seen in a long time.
I agree!  I think it is a beauty.  Do you think its construction is System X, Steck or a hybrid?  I don't see any holes in the floor or walls, so maybe Steck.   :crossed:

I too wish it was steck but I doubt it. To me it looks like it is 3 large rock wall pieces w/wood sections on top and they attach at the corners. For some reason it reminds me of the system the tree fort is made of.

I wonder what kind of oven is in there

I see what you mean about the construction, Ras.  The cowshed on the side reminds me of the 3716 barn in your dio.  Love that set.

I think you are talking about the red barn I had no idea where to put so just threw it in  :lol: I had so many parents say what a joy it was to see a toy look so realistic and why do they have to add all the colors to toys today? Many moms said their kids prefer toys to be realistic in design and look

It makes me think of the tree fort too. I think it's because of the shape of the roof.

Couldn't agree more about the realistic colors. I think that was part of what drew me to the toys as a seven-year-old. If the covered wagon had been pink I would have hated it.

A western hunter's cabin would be sooooo cool!  This is a very awesome and versatile house coming.

I laso think the cabin is one of the best small buildings of the last few years. I've always hated the many cut-outs and 45° oblique floorplates in the buildings for so called higer playability. This is just a straight rectangular building with a beautiful design and colours. I like the wooden look of the 1st floor and the porch. The house will definitely fit a lot of themes.

As to figures 4 en 5, a lot of useful parts are there to keep customising forever  :yippee: :yippee: I like the new rapunzel style hairpiece.

As to the fairy theme, there seems to be a darker green version of the willow's leaves, very nice and a lot better than the first fluo green version. Those leaves were made of a soft rubber-like plastic and couldn't be painted well.

As much as I do not like the soft rubber and all the willow was one instance where it actually made the tree realistic in nature. Willow trees have this "bright" appearance compared to other trees. They also have a "soft" feel to them especially weeping willows .

I agree, I really loved the willow tree, though it didn't seem to have enough branches to give as full an appearance as I would like.

Completely agree! And I'm also glad for the darker leaves.
