| (...) John, are you talking about the columns embedded in the wall? That's what the ones in the set you referenced looked like. I actually meant the round pillars in the middle of the front wall (either side of the main entrance(?) and balcony). (...)

I always like to see pictures of structures in the plastic, as opposed to ray-traced. (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains.org)

| (...) What did you use for the columns on the front? They look like they're one piece, whereas the ones on the back look like "normal" 2x2 round bricks. Also I believe the conical trees used to come in two sizes. Which ones did you use? And where do (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains.org)

| Time to think about building something other than Trains, John!!! Great Job, good ornate details, and very impressive, I can't wait to see this on a layout table when you guys get the new setup done! Just be careful of those tall tree's, check my (...)

(Already apologized for the pic quality:/) It is mostly white; the corners, base, and trim are gray (too bad it isn't all gray; how nuts would that be to have *that* many gray 1x2x2 windows!) As it is, the chateau uses 330 1x2x2 (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains.org)

| John, Great job on the Chateau, I stumbled across it this morning on Brickshelf and was very impressed with the ornate details around the doors and windows. Is it gray or white? The pictures kind of make it hard to tell. jt -- James J. Trobaugh (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains.org)
