Thanks Larry for the post I thought that Robert's castle was amazing.

What I would do to get that much Gray to build with :( .

Oh well maybe in time when LEGO allows bulk ordering again (Yah right!)  :).

Fellow Lego Enthusiasts:

The final brick is in for Castle Chillon on Lake Geneva.  The castle can
be
seen at http://www.end.com/~jynx/castle/chillon.html.

My model was constructed using 30,698 Lego bricks!  The rough breakdown
is
as follows:

   Gray bricks   20,418
       1xn bricks = 11,202
       2xn bricks = 4,557
       Baseplates = 2,869
       Arches = 186
       Slants = 449
       Tiles = 390
       Misc = 747

   Red slants (roofing)   2,609
   Other colors (infrastructure, etc)  7,671

It was my largest castle to date!

       Bob Carney
