(...) Beautiful! The hut has an elegant shape with attractive colors, and is well detailed. And the hermit has a bed, a table, and a dead bird on a spit. What else does anyone really need? (2 URLs) AndroDan>> Tony Hafner (URL) www.hafhead.com> (20 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hey Lenny, Cool hermit and house! A must for any village. Is that bird a pet, or dinner? :) James (20 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Ben, this is an excellent build. I'd have to agree with Marc that the castle wall with no windows is plain, i think at least one would have been fun. I do enjoy the plaster walls - something I'd never do b/c of the piece usage, but it is cool (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Hi Marc, Thank you for your comments. I am really pleased with the plaster work also. The wall doesnt have windows because it is an exterior castle wall. A tapestry may be appropriate here because that side of the room is very plain. I was (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

I saw this earlier today while browsing Brickshelf and was awed. I particularly like the recessed cross-shaped windows. Too bad that LEGO doesn't make 48X48 baseplates in green. (20 years ago, 27-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hi Marc, I like all three of these houses. The new roofs that you designed are great and very unique. The window design using headlight bricks is also very nice! Ben (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
