| Hi all, "So, Bruce, why haven't you updated your Lord of the Rings story in over a year?" "Well, I keep getting distracted by other things, but I have been building sections of Minas Tirith off and on." Well, I've been alluding to these for quite a (...)

| (...) Very nice work. The city gates are quite large and look like they could withstand some punishment. One nit, I don't think the arch & slope combination works, I think it would look better if you just went with slopes for the whole thing. The (...) (19 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| Very nice! I especially liked the flooring in the House of Healing -- set diagonally. I'd love to peek at how that was done. Keep up the great work! Joe (19 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Thanks for the comments. I see what you mean on the arch/slope thing (at first I thought you meant along the tops of the walls, which I was pretty happy with, but I assume you mean the shape of the gateway). That comes out of a) inverse slope (...) (19 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Yes, I meant the shape of the gateway. I like the tops of the walls. How can you have an inverse slope shortage when you have enough light grey to do all those walls? (...) Nah, I don't think matching is a good idea. I agree that a real city (...) (19 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Mwahahahaha! Fooled you. :) That's actually really simple--they're not at all connected. Since I build largely for the camera, things aren't always solid. The floor is actually a big wall of tan bricks that's been flopped over on its side. (...) (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

I think it's all due to very slight differences between the angle of the camera (...) (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Mmmmm ... cram. I'm in the "cram=twinkies" camp from my rec.arts.books.tolkien days, btw. Thanks for the compliment. Maybe I should do some LotR vignettes. I could surely turn those out more quickly than full chapters. Bruce (19 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
