I love the oven in the cottage, a great idea, although it would seem a bit unsafe in the all wooden structure. Are you sure this isn't supposed to be another Joe Vig MOC?

Anyway, I really like it.

I also like the oven. I think it looks good, but I think I like the long house more, I think the ramps look better when there are more of them lined up.

I second what the others have said. That slope is just too grand for a smaller building. I do like the front facade of this creation. I would like to see you remake the longhouse with this neat style.

Hm... the skateboard ramps looked wonderful on the longhouse, but they seem to be stretching the house too far up this time. Not in a bad way, just in a weird way. The inside is great, but it seems incredibly barren... just needs a little clutter. I love the oven and chimney, as well as the bed. Looks very realistic!

One problem... how does he get up to the attic? Levitation and insubstantiality? (It needs a ladder)

I really like the ways you attached the roof and the walls to the base building. i don't think i've seen anyone stick on walls that way before, it doesn a nice job of getting them just far enough inside the lip on the ramps. The "plain" roof provides a nice contrast to the fancy one on your longhouse. I have to disagree with everyone else though, one set of ramps looks just fine, once you're used to it. Might blow over in a strong wind, though

You try and fit a ladder into a space that small. I've tried it. It doesn't leave any attic worth mentioning, just a ladder up to a 2x6 platform. Besides, inaccessable is a good place to keep treasure.

Wow, Nathan, you are really going to town with those ramps. Good job. I like the celtic style you are creating with these. Have you tried this way yet ( http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/royds ... nshop1.jpg )? It would give you more floor space, which seems to be the only problem with the high peaked approach.

Build On,
