Hi Jojo, I love the story and even more the great detailed picture. The brown chair is great, the idea of the guns there... so many brown parts, I never knew there was that window in brown.

Anthony, That's hilarious, and yet tragic, for we've all been in similar situations. My favorite line is: "I tried to catch the chips off-guard - I pressed again, but twice as hard." That one made me LOL. Bruce (21 years ago, 31-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

I almost wondered if it was some sort of pulpit or bapistry or something (because of the relief figures around the outside) that was being stored in this room for some reason. Now it all makes sense.

Hey Jojo, Happy Halloween/Reformation Day. Great MOC. I especially like the way you put the inkstain into the floor and into the wall (SNOTty, even). The cabinet on the wall and the chair are also very cool. The green thing is still a puzzle to me, (...) (21 years ago, 31-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build, FTX)
