This is my first attempt at a tudor style house so go easy on me. I haven't designed the interior yet, except for a small chandelier seen in one of the last pics. I was thinking of making it an inn or tavern of some sort. As usual, constructive criticism is welcome and wanted.

And if you were wondering about why there is a cowboy, he's my test minifig. I use him to test the height of doors, ceilings and such to see if they are good for minfigs size. Why I chose a cowboy in the first place? Well that's getting a little too off topic.

Great job, it's a very very cute house, congratulation man.
The chandelier inside is great too.

Nice little house. Now, get a knight and a nice princess to call it "home"

Freakin' awesome!

The red roof is great with the black and white. Can't wait to see what you do with the inside.

Hey Hob,
Nice clean MOC and well photographed. I think you should get rid of that wall of white bricks so that you can access the attic space. Especially since you've got a window up there, so it seems like it should be another room.

Well, I said I would post the pics today, and even with my thumb throbing from being bitten by the tripod I'm going to do it since by my watch I have 1 minute before it is officially tomorrow. Not many changes from the outside picture except that the top window is a little wider and I replaced the torch that was at the top of the stairs with a lamp. I took your suggestiong Bruce and removed the wall of white to replace it with an attic. The roof may not be as sturdy as it was, but I think it looks much cooler. I also added scenes to the other floors. Sorry about the flash on some of the pictures, I'm working on it. Hope you guys like it!

I like it. I think Bruce's suggestion was a good one, it certainly opens up alot of space to use!
I love the brawl going on. Looks like a rought and tumble king of place to get a drink! The maiden down their thinking she hopes they do not break any of her things....

Nice! I love lego tudor and lego wood. that's why I like the viking fortress a lot. I have more than 150 brown-coloured 1x1 brics.

Hehe, a great little MOC here Hob! I like the fight upstairs. Nothing like it to ensure the viewer gets that it's a pub! My only critique is that the chandelier is lit in the attic, but there are none down below.

Originally I had the chandilier on the second floor as seen in the first pictures, but I couldn't fit in in there after I put in the brawling figs and I still wanted it in the creation somewhere though it didn't fit well on the first floor either

. So I'll say that the two floors get their light from the other half of the room as this is only half of the building

. Thanks for your comments everyone!

Looks good, Hob. You have some excellent fig action and the storage space in the attic is well-used. Though I've always wondered why random wagon wheels appear in attics all the time.
God bless.
