Bruce! How's it going man!?! I'm glad to hear you've got more planned. I love your site. You've done so much already, I'm certain you deserve a break in the schedule, I saw you've been slash dotted, you've probably been getting a lot of traffic (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Judging from the pictures, it looks like you are taking stock pieces of plastic and cutting/glueing basic shapes together to get you final piece. The Great Helm (beautifully done) looks like you have worked over an existing minifig helm...? (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

Thank you Gil, Your compliments are very encouraging! The Lego's of Beleriand is a great name for a website! If I ever have time to move my pics from Brickshelf to a site, I'll ask you if I can use your title! If only the Valar could get me (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

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)

Christian, I really appreciate your compliments. I'm kind of stuck on what to do next (If I have the time!). I hope that you've enjoyed lurking, it's cool to have you in the community. Thanks again! Jon (...) (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 Now why didn't I think of that before? That would be a lot more simple and clean of a solution, haha. But, would it fit ok? I mean, would there be any gappage that would be less than a plate thick? (...) (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)

(...) Hey, I think the easiest solution would be to run two technic beams parallel to eachother, with the studs going in opposite directions. Then connect the beams at a few places with technic pins. Now you have a 2xn "brick" with a line of studs (...) (22 years ago, 16-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)

(...) Thanks for the reply! In the meantime, I shaved the top off a traditional bullet helm, slapped on some binary epoxy putty, let it cure, and now I'm in the process of grinding it into something that looks like a great helm (the flat top (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

Kyle, thanks for taking the time to write this up. I'm only one more who is curious about trying this, but wouldn't know what was in store before jumping in. -Erik (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

'.........' That, is the sound of me gaping at the entire folder. Meduseld, Helm's Deep - all of it. Being a hopeless Tolkien fan, these creations are simply mind boggling. If the Valar had Lego at their disposal, this is what they would make. The (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
