Robert G. Carney, Jr.'s castle page is this week's Cool LEGO Site of the
Week pick.

If you haven't seen these yet, these are a MUST SEE!  (I've called web pages
"must see" before, but these reach a new level!)

Here is the CLSotW review-text:

   Once in a great while, a new LEGO® fansite pops up out of the blue
   and astounds everyone with some sort of completely amazing construction.
   This week, Robert announced his website showcasing his collection of
   LEGO® castles.  It would be an understatement to call this collection
   amazing, for each one of these castles qualifies as a completely amazing
   construction!

   Nineteen (wow!) castles are shown.  Each is a beautiful work of art,
   masterfully detailed and carefully modeled after actual European castles
   dating back to the 12th Century.  And as if that isn't enough to
   completely bowl you over, here's the most amazing part:  less than one
   third of all the castles Robert has built are shown.  To date, he has
   built 68 castles!

Wow! I'm not into castles, but these are great. They're minifig scale too! (25 years ago, 18-Jan-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Whoa, Nelly!! These are some of the best Lego castles I've ever seen! I've been to a number of the castles he built, and the detail is amazing! I'm sooooo jealous! Jeff P.S. Sorry for the exclaimation marks, but I had to express my admiration. (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Completely agreed. Absolutely incredible. Next question - any guesses as to *how much* Lego this gentleman has to work with? I'm not a castle- head, so I couldn't begin to guess... -Tim (25 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.build)
