(...) I've done several different methods; nearly everything I build these days seems to start with some buildup inside or underneath... Methods I've used: 4x4 columns with regular baseplate on top. This works quite well for landscape, although the (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) This idea is Brilliant, Looks as though a lot less bricks required. At the moment I have been using 2x4 bricks, keeping them two studs apart and overlapping them(wish I had a pic to make sense). This method still uses a lot, at least I now (...)

(...) Great MOC Stephen! Checking out the pics, I can see the Duplo base, very simple, and yet looks extremely efficient. Seeing many great MOCs on Brickshelf, you never really see how these models have been raised and always keeps you curious as to (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I am trying to Build a Castle which I guess will have a lot of top end weight, the lattice approach seems the most logical at the moment. It looks as though this model will be Quite heavy, might just have to double the Lattice work. (...) Too (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Okay, okay. You have convinced me! :) There should have been a fair maiden. I was thinking the brave/stupid/insane knight was fighting BUB for the sake of the kingdom and honor and glory. Alright, here are two after-the-fact edited storylines. (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.castle)

(...) My 3 arguments why BUB would NOT eat the maiden: a. What's in it for that Brave Knight Guy then? No sane canned person would risk such an ambitious fight for the soul purpose of honour (And any insane one would loose the fight) b. In general, (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

Rocco, I think you need to reread my original post. It was about the Castle line. I used the color issue to point out that rumors of Castle demise were perfectly understandable. Reread, and chill out. It's not your thread, you don't own it, anyone (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

(...) I once raised up 32x32 baseplates. Underneath I used 4x4 pillars. At the edges, the pillars would wrap over the edge of the baseplate to hold it down. Baseplate is really equal to one plate. Now that every Harry Potter set comes with a thick (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) You know those thick plates they use in many of the Harry Potter sets? I usually build several columns of 2x2 bricks, and then put those harry potter plates on top. It's really quick and easy. I think LEGO S@H sells then in a variety of colors (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

snipped the message :) Hey Rocco, Way to go! I agree with you completely! Keep threads seperate, that is the point of having threads.
