There were 5 winners to the Ironhart lottery and here are the results. Linwhite : Little Stone Shoppe PC : Little Stone Shoppe Ialora : Blacksmith shoppe (Under construction) Hein : Blacksmith Shoppe (Under construction) Nightwind : Blacksmith shoppe (Under construction) There were supposed to be 4 winners, but I jotted down 5 numbers, So I felt compelled in honesty to award all five. Any complaints? The numbers were 13,27,38,43,49 one person missed twice by 1 number. Hein just missed winning twice.. but so it goes. Above is a picture of Dork surrounded by the Smith props that will come in the smithy. The shop will have a forge and bellows (I don't know yet if they will work). It will be a leanto kinda place with a stone house behind/side. On that note. Would you all prefer the generic type houses or specific shops with appropriate props? comments? Ironhart

For myself, I'd like getting them as a wide variety of more generic-purpose buildings, with the accy paks available for mix-and-match to specialize buildings as needed, but my honest opinion is they'll sell MUCH better to the average customer if they were sold as specific-purpose sets:-)). Are you accepting suggestions/requests for the next projects to consider doing? - If so, I'll nominate a print-shop, a taylor's shop, and perhaps a butchery or mill-house. - Seems like you could go completely thru the Book of Trades and still not run out of subjects. - And at your prices, even I could afford a complete township!

Hey Ironhart!

Judging from the props, the Blacksmith Shop looks like its going to be good! In answer to your question, my preference in buildings is similar to Leather Guy's. I would love it if you made some more generic type houses (especially tudor). What I basicly need is some buildings to line the streets of the scenes I create. I also use the interiors of your houses for some scenes, but the reason I need a few different types of buildings is so the street scenes have some variety. I like the idea of shops, because they add variety, too. Well, I hope that helps! By the way, the Stone Shop looks great, but I really love tudor. :) I appreciate your work! Keep it up!

I like generic buildings and mix 'n match (even parts) when needed, specific buildings were rare untill recently so turning a house into a workshop isn't out of style. I live in a town where you'll find 15th century buildings next to brandnew stuff, doesn't hurt a bit :))

Jeeze Hein.. I'm jealous. out of curiousity which houses are cheaper the old ones or the new ones? and what country? Ironhart

Anything in the towncentre is to d**n expensive, expect $250K-$1M and up for anything a quarter the size of an avg US home (so the Mrs tells me and she's from Phoenix) but $300K will buy you a new 2 bedroom apt. Town's called Amersfoort in the Netherlands.

wow! all I gotta do is sell 200,000 little houses. We can start a sned ironhart to Europe support fund. But I think I'd like something closer to the equator. Neatherlands sounds cold to me. Ironhart

IF we sell over 100,000 copies of a product do we get a gold plated CD of our product? JK, been up too late :) Ironhart

ironhart...Deal man. You sell 100,000 and I'll do something neat for ya. (wink) Clint
