    My Second MOC —Cynthia Bradham
   This is my second MOC, a castle I built for BrickFest 2004. (URL) was inspired by the amazing work of Johannes Koehler, which can be seen particularly in the trees and building details (i.e. the balcony). Inspiration also came from Brendan Powell (...)

        Re: My Second MOC —Joe Meno

         Re: My Second MOC —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) I agree with Joe, it's depressing how much good stuff I missed, or only got to glance at... these pics fill in a lot of the details I didn't get to see at the time. I love stained glass, especially when used in non liturgical contexts... (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

     (...) Hi Orion- Thanks for letting me use it (after the fact), and sorry I didn't remember whose it was.

        Re: My Second MOC —Bruce Hietbrink

     (...) Hi- yes, I remember your post now, I admired your windows then and now too. It's a very original idea, to use the lattices to accomidate the trans plates.

        Re: My Second MOC —Johannes Koehler
     Hi Cynthia! I saw this on BrickShelf and instantly thought it was beautiful. There are nice building designs in the structures and the stained glass windows are very cool and so are the hand panels. I also like the view out of the side window with (...)

        Re: My Second MOC —Cynthia Bradham
