The "Most Photographed Gate" ( starting around picture #18 ) should look familiar to some. invincibleoverlord Prolific Collector Joined: 03 Oct 2004 Last Visit: 01 May 2008 Posts: 525 Location: windy south florida Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2007 10:03 pm Yes around #18 it does...

Most of which can be obtained in model form ... tho' not quite the same scale as most D&D minis. http://www.faller.de/start.php?lang=gb&naviUp=3&naviDown=1&new=0&dat_a rtKat1=SpurH0&page=artikel.php faro Verbose Collector Joined: 21 Nov 2005 Last Visit: 15 Nov 2008 Posts: 1464 Location: UK Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2007 10:58 pm Hrmm... looks like I missed that by one railway junction and under 10 miles. Another good reason to return to the area, I guess. Neat pics on the town walls, too; thx.

I got the real life Tegel Manor (name only) that was in one of the Journals: http://www.acaeum.com/jg/ModPhotos/RealLifeTegelManor.html ShaneG. jamesmishler Prolific Collector Joined: 12 May 2005 Last Visit: 07 Jan 2009 Posts: 404 Location: Iola, WI Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 4:24 pm I actually *might* have some pictures of that location myself, from the tourn I took of Germany back in the summer of 1984. I know we toured and walked around Rothenburg, and I distinctly remember being at that site. I didn't put 2 and 2 together at the time, though... Being in high school and in Germany, I was more interested in beer than in anything else. faro Verbose Collector Joined: 21 Nov 2005 Last Visit: 15 Nov 2008 Posts: 1464 Location: UK Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 5:53 pm That was one of the other reasons, James... ^^ T'other side of 1990 here. zhowar Prolific Collector Joined: 03 Sep 2003 Last Visit: 31 Dec 2008 Posts: 943 Location: Portown Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2007 9:50 am I whipped this up in photoshop...

I love the way the street horseshoes around it while also descending the height of one floor. So cool, and the clock tower gate as your neighbor   . It looks to be a four-story structure. I'd set it up as so - the basement or bottom floor level would be the art-studio, the 1st floor entered from street level to the left of the photo would be the entrance to a game store, the second floor would be a RPG museum/game hall, and the third floor a small apartment. Oh, man would that be amazing!
