Thanks for the kind words!
I've always thought of excuses of why my castle models were made from red bricks
and I cam up with the Blood Stone "chronicles" years ago to help explain this
(the next installment on the site will go into it the why's). However, if you
were the first to use the name I will gladly find some variation as to
distingish between our models. We may have thought of the idea independently,
but it seems you were first to use it publicly. How about "Gore Stone Castle"
ha! I guess I'll think of something...

Sanguine castle? (not the cheerful, optimistic definition, but the blood-
thirsty one, based on the medieval four humors).
Crimson keep?

Yes, yes, and the throne room shot can carry the caption, "In the court of the
Crimson Keep!"
(Somebody out there will get this one -- FUT lugnet.off-topic.pun)

Ha! Flushed one out!
It just took me a few days to find your message. My cookies got reset somehow
to the default, so I've missed posts to the off-topic groups.
Somewhere on the Net I read that there is a positive correlation between such
hobbies as Lego, computers, and prog-rock. I'm guilty on all counts --
apparently, so are you.
Did you catch my other prog-rock Lego pun earlier that day?
