(...) Hi Nik. 'Just call me Nik' I didn’t forget that. How are you? Did you get some inspiration from LEGOWOLD 2003 for future buildings? Maybe, after several years of collecting bricks you will make a castle like this yourself. I hope I see you (...) (21 years ago, 14-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) I had a chance to see this castle at LEGOWORLD 2003, and get to know the builder, Leo and his lovely wife very graciously shared a cabin with us at Lemenkulen (probably mangled that spelling but oh well).

Very nice effect either way, especially for the relatively small scale (compared to stuff at (...) (21 years ago, 12-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)
