Hey Nathan, Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I was out of town this weekend. (...) That is why I posted this quickly. I afraid someone would beat me to it! Where you thinking of making a shop selling elephants? If so, rights or no rights, I was thinking (...) (21 years ago, 20-May-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hi everyone, I am just writing to say that this summer I will not be around lugnet much because of limited internet access. I might not be able to post and respond to discussion at .castle much. I'll catch up with everyone in the fall. Ben (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) That's where my trebuchet wouldn't work, that darned sling! The shape of the trebuchet was right and I used two weight bricks for ballast, but it was the sling that stumped me! Any pics of the new sling? Nathan Lord Of The LEGO (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.castle)

I love those wolves! Like somebody already said, that is truly the best use the wolf head I've ever seen, even better than a werewolf minifig. And they're so simple, I love it. I like the detail to the back feet giving them claws with the 1x1 clip. (...) (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.castle)

As I mentioned I wanted to do in my other post, I've changed to a braided sling pocket and it made a big difference, both in ease of setup and distance. It now throws about 6 feet. Time to see what sling length and end hook gives the best (...) (21 years ago, 18-May-03, to lugnet.castle)

I'm glad you liked the siege weapons site. I found it when I was building my catapult. I've started doing more historical research when I build. Not that I'm all that accurate in my MOCs, but I do get some great ideas that way! Stephen (21 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.castle)
