Nice looking village and great looking ballon. I am envious. How did you do the roofs on the huts? What did you cover the ballon with? Is it a plastic ball underneath? Did you scratchbuild the basket?

As an aside, not every K in German becomes a C in English. It is darkest Africa.  ;)

The balloon itself, I have constructed from a styrofoam ball and paper.
The basket is made of balsawood and cardboard walls ground itself was built.
The roof of the houses is made from a towel and woodglue built.

I am not zo schure... The emulation of stereotypikal German zpeech into writing kontains a lot of 'z's and 'k's. Zo why not reziprokate? :)

WOW great scenery and figures :-*
I really like the balloon idea and the cooking pot.
One problem though. How long does it take to boil a captive. Its huge.
You english is very good as well a lot better than my German or for that matter any other Language. I am always in awe of people who can deal with more than one.

 You probably got more English language grammar than I did, as a native English speaker. North American schools have been steadily removing grammar instruction for the last 20 or so years.
