(URL) time not a LEGO-designed castle but a castle as real as possible. Take the grand tour and tell me what you think of it. Maybe a nice idea for LEGO next year? (20 years ago, 12-Dec-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, lugnet.castle) !!

(...) Ooooooo, aaahhhhh! Did you find yourself constantly tweaking it to get just the right effect or did you attack the mottling with a random approach? Very nice effect either way, especially for the relatively small scale (compared to stuff at (...) (20 years ago, 12-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) Now that is a REAL castle - not one of these wimpy Lego ones with paper thin walls! I like it, and have bookmarked it. (...) I think that set would be somewhat expensive. :-) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks for your visit. The mottling was a random approach indeed. Just a kind of feeling. And by mixing different colours you can make bigger buildings, of course. Leo (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) Thank you for visiting my castle. Not only it would be expensive, but rather heavy too. Maybe a smaller kind of real looking castles? Leo. (20 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) In my opinion (1), its not entirely "eye-friendly" (2), but the work itself is amazing and the initial design is very nice. Its a great show piece. GREAT JOB!!! qualfications: (1) my stuff isn't that good so my opinion shouldn't hold carry a (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) I think picture 18.jpg is the most telling because it shows the complexity of the wall construction. You have accomplished what was only a pipedream on my part. Thanks for showing it. My only quibble is that the extreme compression of the .jpg (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) I had a chance to see this castle at LEGOWORLD 2003, and get to know the builder, Leo and his lovely wife very graciously shared a cabin with us at Lemenkulen (probably mangled that spelling but oh well). IT ROCKS! The pictures are amazing but (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) Thank you for your comments. I had lots of years to collect bricks and finally, a dream came true. The pictures were made during the building process and placed in the same order, only to show some details, which are invisible after finishing. (...)

(...) Thank for visiting. It is always difficult to choose the right colour combination for this kind of buildings. Make it grey only, and it looks more like a concrete silo. The more so, this would have been if the parapets were flush with the (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, FTX)

And I have learnt some English (American) expressions too. I built this castle 1:25 from (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) Hi Nik. 'Just call me Nik' I didn’t forget that. How are you? Did you get some inspiration from LEGOWOLD 2003 for future buildings? Maybe, after several years of collecting bricks you will make a castle like this yourself. I hope I see you (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

I have it, and took it with me on a business trip; while my coworkers were reading romance, I read this. They wondered how I could (...) (20 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

Building this castle was a great pleasure. The only (...) (20 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)
