 | | How to convert 2 useless LEGO castles sets into something bigger useless (or "Chariot of Fire")
|
|
Hi again, Before I begin this message it's really much space, but still I can hardly call it castle either. A few weeks ago, one night when I was really board and both LEGO Castle sets 2539 & 2848 on my bed, (2 URLs) I started trying to combine (...)

Really cool little village outside the gates. How many wall sections does the city use (...) (21 years ago, 24-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Yaron, Very nice church. I like the details in the windows especially. Also the goblet, the books (hymn books or bibles?), the statue, the shields are all nice details. The clapper on the bell is a good idea - I'll have to borrow that sometime. Does (...) (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
