Gee, thanks Richard! Not a hero of yours, I take it? Definitely a Bad
King. I think the nosepiece of the crown helps his expression - I tried a
bunch of hats on him to approximate the tam he wears in Hans Holbein's
painting, but gave up and used the crown. I just love Qui Gon Jinn's face -
used it for my Highwayman as well, although he doesn't look nearly as nasty,
just a little grim.

There's somewhat of a wasteland between the end of Castle and the beginning
of Pirates, historically-speaking, in the Lego System. I'm putting more and
more thought into filling the void. If anyone else has Renaissance ideas,
please share!
Cheers, Heather
