(...) Great Poe story + exquisite building = wonderful Halloween tale! The lighting you used for the pictures in the catacombs is very effective. I like the trowel too. David "Fuzzy" Gregory (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Very nice Lego adaptation of the tale. I've always liked Poe's stories and your rendition was very well done. Hope you do more of his stories! John (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hi, Bruce. Nice story. Kind of twsited. I very much like the design across the top of the building in the first photo, alternating black 1x1 plates turned diagonally with technic holes. And the sword tucked under the arm works well--I haven't seen (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Thanks. I'm so glad that trowel makes sense. I had no idea what I was going to use for that and almost just replaced "trowel" with "hammer and chisel" to use a hammer and a screwdriver, but I was looking for odd elements and came across the (...)

(...) Thanks! You've seen my rendition of (URL) The Raven> from last Halloween, right? I expect that you'll see another Poe story from me next Halloween. I've thought about ways to do both Tell-Tale Heart and The Pit and the Pendulum. Bruce (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Good heavens, I'm glad you kept it! Poe's trowel is a quintessential element of foreshadowing in early American short-fiction. To omit it would be to lose an important artifact of Poe's work. Additionally, I like the creative way you overcame (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build, FTX)

I think I've seen others do similar things with technic bricks to make patterns. (...) I believe I first got (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Hey, that is pretty nice, now that you mention it. :) (...) You could just select the black area around Fortunato's head (either selecting by hand, or the magic wand tool set to low tolerance would probably do the trick), and then adjust the (...)

(...) No, I hadn't seen the Raven one before, but now I have. That one is just as nice. I rather liked how you changed his face in the final picture. One other thing I liked was how you did the legs of the chair - I may have to steal that idea from (...) (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
