I'm curious if anyone has tried to create a credible looking castle using
either the Belville pink spire piece (the big clear one) or the cream, round
castle pillar?

I'll leave this spot open... but I doubt anyone ever did. ;-)
The few BV fans/buyers that are also castle fans (Craig, Richard M, Frank F
and Suz come to mind) haven't expressed anything about it, AFAIK... Frank even
told me he'll try and auction 'em off.
I think that the cream-colored tower might work well, but I don't have it. The
pink one... well, kinda cheesy for the type of thing I'm trying to do ;-) I
was thinking maybe Siferra's (1) room/tower/house/[whatever it is I'll end up
making for her] would be sort-of BV style, with a trellis balcony and perhaps
a tower... but that's still a long way off. I have so much stuff I want to do
and never enough lego or time to do it...!

Hi Brad and Shiri (and everyone else, this is my first post)
I have one planned ! I have all of the current Belville sets sorted out and
awaiting construction (so many themes,so little time). The castle I have
planned will be minifig scale (those nordic dolls will have to go and hangout
with the technic men,I guess). The cream towers I want to use but I want the
castle to be mainly white, maybe I'll have to throw in some yellow. Anyway
stay tuned because STUDS/sydlug are meeting on 02/04/00 and some pics are sure
to be posted the following week, just keep your eyes on Port Block.

Hi Pete! Welcome to lugnet!
(by the way, how do you pronounce your name? I'm always at loss with Pete's.
Is it Pee-tee, or Peet? I have no idea. :-)

Great! I'd love to see pictures when you're done!

<grin> tell me about it... that's why I stick with castle these days...

LOL! There are some "nordic" guys too... but I'm sure they'll fit in well with
the techn-ick guys ;-)

Sounds good! Any stories around it?

I usually introduce myself as Peter to people, but friends generally gravitate
towards Pete (Peat,Peet just like heat) by themselves, which is ok by me. We
have another Peter/Pete (Callaway) down here so we should fit in with the
erics aarons and jeffs. Peter Callaway is usually over in Technic or Star Wars
or having long theological off-topic debates with Larry.

I know, I was just baiting, it's the great Danish idea of having blonde prince
and princesses and kings ,while the witch has red hair and the brunette gets
the sidekick role.

It will be a struggle to come up with something that equals the quality of
stories I read in l.castle and l.pirate but the challenge is now in place.

We haven't officially named ourselves yet,we had our first meeting in February
in 40 degree Celsius heat(heet,heat just like Pete) = 100 degrees F. for you
non-metric people. Richard.P favours STUDS but most of us are from Sydney the
major city (hi Rachel.k from Canberra)of New South Wales, Australia. I had
better get back onto Castle I was starting to ramble, but I think Belville has
a lot of really useful parts that could be used for Castle. I plan on using
those cream tower bits paired together with the pink transparent half-cones
paired on the top, hopefully with a light source inside. Then there are the
2x2 columns in white and cream to support an internal structure/citadel type
thing. Also you get the spiral-type staircases in cream and the many different
arches in white. Anyway wait for the pics, I can hear the knights massing and
getting the forces together to banish this strange structure from the kingdom.

I've never gotten any of the bigger Belville sets, but I've thought about
getting some spires to try out, and I *do* want to find a pair of those
trans. pink doors for a castle.

Cool - I look forward to it.
In case you didn't see it in my Belville post, here is my town building
using the pink, pointy spires:

I like your excuse when buying Belville. I have an NLF (Non-LEGO Fiancee),
so I always have the excuse ready that they are for her!

Hmm - I never thought about those doors. The trick would be to make the
scale look right (for mini-figs).

Are those doors like the ones used in the 6034 Black Monarchs Ghost or the 6081
Kings Mountain fortress, but in a different color?
