Ekis,

Do you have any future plans to build a stand alone building such as the seigneurial dwelling say in a larger scale, like maybe 1/50? That would be something grand to see. Or have you got the “building of buildings” bug out of your system and now is the time for something completely different? I’m sure we all would follow whatever comes next.

Kurt

Ekis, 

 Truly wonderful. You never answered one of my questions. Is there an area of the village or a particular structure that you are most pleased with or that you saved from disaster? The entire project must have been a rewarding one for you. It was certainly an enjoyable one for us despite those guys hanging from the rafters.

Kurt

Maybe we can book virtual vacations there. It certainly looks inviting enough.

Kurt 

Ekis,

I warned you about this mid week stuff.

Kurt

Ekis,

So much to like!  It is very difficult to find new ways to say how wonderful it is with each installment. But do not let that slow you down, keep it coming.

Kurt

Ekis,

It is amazing how much your landscaping improves what was already such a wonderful project. You definitely know what you’re doing. Is there one particular area you are most happy with the way it turned out so far? I am a little annoyed that I was patiently waiting for the weekend update and you sneak one in during the week! Thats not nice. 
 

Kurt

I’m gonna be 70 the end of next month ( really not sureI how that happened) I do know its not my fault. Any way at this point I guess there's no point worrying about how that happened, it’s done. I guess it makes things easier. I never have to worry about what do when I grow up. it’s just not gonna happen. I guess I have PeterPan syndrome? Best part, it’s not my problem!!
 

Kurt

I really am just being silly. No intent in being obnoxious. 

Ekis, 

Where the streets that formally laid out the majority of the time during that period? I always was under the impression things were more haphazard with regard to smaller and less important structures. I’m just asking.

Also, will the sections of the village be permanently joined together, or left unconnected for portability? You may have already mentioned this when I was distracted by the guys hanging from the rafters dropping things on us. They’re kinda childish.

Kurt 

Ekis,

This is the coolest shot! I love the angle.

Kurt

The coin is back, I had missed it.

Kurt

Ekis, 

I know you are most likely thinking the opposite, but I’m fairly confident in saying that most of us will be sorry when this project is complete ( to your standards ). I for one would follow it until the shopping mall has been completed ( or close to that ). This has been a great journey. Go slow!

Kurt

Ekis,

It’s amazing how much the landscaping adds to the project! It brings everything to life. Your photography is top notch too. It all comes together so well. One of my favorite things are dioramas and this is definitely one of my favorite dioramas.

Kurt

Terrific!!

Ekis, 

I really didn’t think this project could get any better. It is so fantastic! But, I have to say, you keep making it better and better. It is really a work of art. You can’t just hide it in your attic when it’s done.

If I ever win the lottery, the first thing I’ll do is be at your doorstep to see the village in the flesh. Disneyland can just wait!

Kurt

Very nice.

Kurt

Ekis, 

I’m guessing that like me you won’t be overly sad to bid 2020 adeu. Of course there were good things that occurred, but they were lost sight of with all the chaos around them. That being said, you certainly accomplished a lot this past year! My favorite building so far is windmill. I had forgotten to mention at the time but the attached houses have a fairly modern look to them. They wouldn't get a second look as being out of place or time in any village today. I am patiently waiting for that pissoir to be completed, I really can’t wait too much longer. Gotta go NOW!

Kurt

It’s not so giant now is it? Should have used a TicTac like most of the others that try and fool us!

Ha, ha . Haven’t any of you figured Ekis out yet? He’s done post doctoral work in photo manipulation. Most of those photos are of the real reconstuction site with that Euro superimposed on them. He’s a sly fox for sure. Have you ever noticed that the Euro is always the same side up and oriented in the same direction?

Ekis, such a bad, bad boy and SO close to Christmas too!

Kurt

Ekis, Close up photos are the bane of most modelers, you are the exception to that rule. It must be breath taking to see in real life. 
 

Kurt

Does that mean Superman is coming to live there. He could move the Euro , easy peasy!

Can’t beat Errol Flynn. Robin Hood is my all time favorite. The horn call is my text tone for my phone. Always got a lot of comments about that at work!

Kurt

Still can’t muster enough men to drag that Euro out of the village. Try some oxen. Do the town people revere it or fear it as a sign from heaven or supernatural sources. 
 
On a serious side things, are really progressing very well. The village seems like a fairly affluent one, what is its main source revenue? Are there a number of guilds there? I’m assuming that Euro belongs solely to the Seigneur.

Kurt

There’s no problem, the pilori is next to the pond. The problem is where is the pissoir near the pub? However the pond would eliminate the need to queue up. But I guess the pilori would have a queue.

Do you know Ekis has to give the final approval on everything concerning the

Notre-Dame reconstruction. Everything must be perfect! So they’re choice was obvious!
