Hey Anthony, I just wanted to put my two cents worth in, if that is okay. I like your story and website. I don't know how many people I have shown your story to, but it is a lot. I am sorry to hear that you have gotten flooded with criticism. It (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hey Bruce! How's it going man? all of the Glass pieces are either cups and glasses, or 1x1 rounds toppes off with transparent 1x1 round plates. Occasionally I used 1x1 squares to make decanters as well. I'll try to fire off a couple of pics of the (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

Dan, Thanks again for the compliments, I tried to do a little more with the minifigs this time. Coming up with fabric was a little tough at first, but I like how it turned out as well. Right now I'm trying to come up with a baseplate configuration (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Alexander, Very nice job. I especially like the templar shields. For not having much many castle pieces, you did a really nice job. Actually, you can build a lot of medieval stuff without having any "castle" pieces. Build On, Josh (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

Great work! What a wonderful town you have there. Great use of bright, classic colours and the newer ones. You really captured the look you were going for. Why not humour a resident of Holland and try an old Dutch house next? Alexander (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Jon, As usual, I'm waiting for the kits. 8-) I especially like the brown and yellow one, which is odd because I really don't like yellow very much. The brown seems to tone it down and give it some class. Hugs, Shirley. (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.castle)
