Jon, Great work as usual. I enjoyed seeing your vision of the inn. Of course being the LOtR fanatic I am pic #16 was enough to make me happy. ;-) -L (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

Jon, wow! I love it. The building itself blows me away. I love the way you did the stone on the bottom floor, and the 1x4 tiles on the timbering. Great landscaping too. And as Dave said - great bed idea! <yoink as well :-)> Very cool...can't wait to (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Jon, You've done it again. This is beautiful. I think my favorite detail is the way you made the beds. Using all smaller bricks makes the walls look realistic on minifig scale, as does the mix of grays you use. That tap piece makes a good (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks Leah, Picture #16 was the only one I really fussed about getting right, It's a pity that Lego doesn't make a Green Hood and a cape! Jon (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

David, Thanks for all of the positive feedback! I accidentally stumbled across the bed design while I was building Bag end. I don't think I've ever heard the term, yoinks! Jon (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

Thank You Chris, It took some time to get the stone pattern right, but I'm very pleased with it. I got a bunch of very light grey plates from bricklink so I could get three colors of grey in there! Tom Bombadil's is on the checklist of things to do (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hey Bruce, Thanks again. I finally decided on a pipe piece after Tamyra suggested the lever idea. That gave a long enough shaft, but it couldn't be gripped by a minifig hand, so I started looking into all my 90 degree angled parts till I found one (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

waaaaa, here I was hoping you'd find the way to use them :( it's been driving me nuts, it's perfect for a pipe, though no way to make it gripable :( Love the Inn, btw! you did a great job on the stone section, I need to get more of the light light (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! Very nice! I also think that the way you built the beds ist very creative. Fine! All in all - like your "Festival-of-the-Gui...s"-gallery - great work again! (...) Hehe! And first of all the bricks will thank you: No biting marks. Bye Jojo (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks Tamyra, I really wanted to use those levers. I almost used blue poster tack, but Incorprating other non lego items is a slippery slope, and I'm starting to become one of those miserable "purists"! :-) I decided not to use stairs since I (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) <snip description> (...) A beautiful creation. I particularly like the lamps you have outside. The willy-nilly way you built the grey walls is interesting too. I also dig the way the roof flars out at the bottom too. Great work. -Jason (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)
