I've never been slash dotted before, in fact I'm a little new to it, so I had to check it out, before I posted. I guess I'm now officially a geek! I also found out I got posted on The One Ring .Net as well, so I guess it can be said that I've been (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks Chris, It took some building to get that Stone base set up correctly! The Harry Potter Walls did come in handy when doing the steps. After the roof, engineering that platform was pretty hard to do symmetrically, I'm glad they made those (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hey Well, yeah. It's a bit harsh of a minifig "natural selection", isn't it? I should correct that, rather than going into some convoluted explanation of the minifigs all having parachutes, but as none of them have backpacks, they'd have to have (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hey, Well, I'm the guy with the "LITTLE ARMORY". Any questions? Oh, and btw...BAKING sculpey? Not for such small pieces like helms. Try boiling a little water, then carefully put your piece in. Let it boil for about 2-5 minutes(size thing)and you're (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

Jon, Once again you make me despair. How can I make my Meduseld measure up to this? Beautiful work, my friend. I love it all, but some of my favorite little details are the way the roofbeams cross in the front and the little horse statue (looks kind (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

Nice work, Jon. I especially like the the thin columns made up of 1x1 round bricks and plates. And the 1x1 round plates on the front of the building. Oh yeah... and in case you didn't know yet, you've been slashdotted! (URL) Rev. Brendan Powell (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
