Warning--major spoilers! If you have not read (...) (21 years ago, 15-Dec-03, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.castle)

(...) Thank you for your comments. I had lots of years to collect bricks and finally, a dream came true. The pictures were made during the building process and placed in the same order, only to show some details, which are invisible after finishing. (...)

(...) Thank for visiting. It is always difficult to choose the right colour combination for this kind of buildings. Make it grey only, and it looks more like a concrete silo. The more so, this would have been if the parapets were flush with the (...) (21 years ago, 14-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Thanks for visiting my castle twice! At first in real live and now virtual. It was a great pleasure to have met you and your son at LEGOWOLD 2003. And I have learnt some English (American) expressions too. I built this castle 1:25 from (...) (21 years ago, 14-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) 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)

Hello Everybody! Well, today's the day! The bid official launch of my new website. After dealing with mixed thoughts about continuing to maintain my old website (www.rotule.qc.ca, dead now) or upgrading it, I opted to creating a new and improved (...)

(...) 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). IT ROCKS! The pictures are amazing but (...) (21 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) I think picture 18.jpg is the most telling because it shows the complexity of the wall construction. You have accomplished what was only a pipedream on my part. Thanks for showing it. My only quibble is that the extreme compression of the .jpg (...) (21 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) In my opinion (1), its not entirely "eye-friendly" (2), but the work itself is amazing and the initial design is very nice. Its a great show piece. GREAT JOB!!! qualfications: (1) my stuff isn't that good so my opinion shouldn't hold carry a (...) (21 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Now that is a REAL castle - not one of these wimpy Lego ones with paper thin walls! I like it, and have bookmarked it. (...) I think that set would be somewhat expensive. :-) (21 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

(...) Ooooooo, aaahhhhh! Did you find yourself constantly tweaking it to get just the right effect or did you attack the mottling with a random approach? 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)

Hi Ben, I think I will write something up about trebuchets for classic-castle.com if you are still interested. I would like to do some more experimentation first, so it might be a few days. James (21 years ago, 12-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)
