(...) Wow! I loved it! I loved the model, but I love the backstory even more. I also thoroughly enjoyed all the detail work involved and your special "added touches" like the bird cage, the harp and Black Falcon guy. Ben Medinets (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Jojo, this structure is so impressive! Every once in a while I get it in my head that I'm starting to become a good builder, but then something like this comes along and I feel humbled. Excellent job capturing the overall look of the building, (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

This MOC is truly amazing!! Jojo, your work constantly astounds me. You are constantly raising the bar. The arched ceiling is absolutely fantastic, and is made even more remarkable by the fact that you don't seem to use any specialized elements to (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) I'll second all the compliments. One thing I wanted to add was that I also saw the pictures first. That there was a story about a young woman becoming a wizard and them setting out and finding her own home was quite obvious. Frank (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) Thanks for the praise! I too am pleased with the outcome of the sandy-grey mottling. I pondered to build it completely in sand (since the original is sand-coloured) but I didn't have close to enough parts to do it, and there wouldn't (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) Thanks for the praise! Well, the story... I don't build for the purpose of illustrating stories, but I wrote the story to accompany the pictures. I'm afraid this does affect the quality of the story... Henceforth there shall not be a (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) Oooh, actually you are the last one to have reason to feel humbled! Your skills of illustrating a story (the Bible, but whom do I tell that) are hardly equaled. (...) Hehe, I happened to have a not too small an amount of those flat (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) Thanks for the praise! (...) I don't hope so. Maybe I'd not be able to jump over it myself... (...) For the arched ceiling I used the most ordinary and non-specialized bricks imaginable, i.e. 2x4 bricks and 2x2 bricks :-) It's an (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.color)
