| (...) You know, when I was building it, I did give some thought to were the tower bits went... I made a small pile of rubble in front of the tower, but I had it in my head that maybe the villagers had started to cart away stone. Reusing it rather (...)

| (...) Thanks. I have read that book so many times, I am sure that subconciously it was affecting my building style. Eventually I really need to get around to making some WoT MOCs. The Stone of Tear might be a tad difficult, no? Jason Spears | (URL) (...) (21 years ago, 14-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) I certainly would be geeked if Lego brought back the castle line. I didn't buy much of the Knight's Kingdom, but I was stocking up on those archers. Still with the Blacksmith Shop and the Black Falcon's Fortress the line isn't completely dead. (...) (21 years ago, 14-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Hi Jojo, Real nice work as always, can't wait to see the rest. I really loved the idea that you used those little 2x1 plates under the arcs there, so what's the story behind it? a fountain of ... 'Gold'? Yaron "Webrain" Dori (21 years ago, 14-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| Hello! Very nice! I like the use of just small bricks for the building, that looks very natural. I also like the trees and landscaping. Bye Jojo (URL) (21 years ago, 14-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) I like this a lot. Its a great structure. Heres hoping TLC gets the idea and revives the castle line with stuff like this. Also, I shouldn't criticize, because I couldn't come close to it in 100 years of building, but it seems that the outside (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Wonderful, For something so simple, it has a great depth of feeling to it. And for some reason, it harkens me back to the coast of Labrador during early Fall. To me, the scene appears vaguely reminiscent of McKiernan’s short story “The Hel (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) I like your design and construction but i have to agree with Matt and say it needs a bit more in the landscaping. While the land is nicely built, it needs more accessory. Since much of the tower has collapsed, perhaps a few dark grey plates (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Nice work Jason, you have a real talent for terraforming. I like the trees being around the same height as the tower...it kind of gives that feeling that nature is reclaiming it. Maybe some 3-bladed bushes or 3pronged flower stems would look (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

More foliage would have been difficult, I would have either had to use the normal Lego molded trees (which are kinda small) or just some scrufffy (...)

| (...) Hey, nice start to a scene there! Although there were a bit too many studs in the pic (could have fixed that with some more foliage around the tower) I'll still have to give you props for a good start at it! I found the use of those flat (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
