Hi all, I have compiled an article with links to animal MOCs at approximately minifig scale by a large number of AFOLS, which can be found on Classic-Castle.com's how-to page: (URL) was compiled initially to help add details to castle layouts, but (...)

Hey, I really like the landscaping. I'll pay my highest compliment and say it makes me think of Takeshi Itou ((URL) I especially like the depth of that gorge and the very natural feel to the landscape. The structure itself is a bit plain, but (...) (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Jeff, I like this. It is huge and seems to fit together. I like the contrast between the dark grey walls and light grey towers. The "wavy" walls give it an interesting effect. In response to what these other people have been saying about how (...) (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.castle)

Now that is a cool tower. I would love to see the rest of the fortress. Turning the grey disk pieces upside down for the roof was excellent! Good job. Josh (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.castle)

Interesting concept. The tower it's self looks nice and I like the part used for the roof. (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.castle)

The stream flowing below is a nice touch. I'm not too sure about the roof on (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Nifty. It has a very blocky look, like it could withstand determined assault with savvy defenders manning the slits and walltops. Photographing it with a wintry background is quite effective as well. Thanks for sharing! (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.castle)

I'm not normally a castle person, but my son asked me to build a castle. So I thought I'd start with the outer walls (not sure what they are properly called). I seemed to have a large number of part #2345s on hand in dark grey (ok... old dark grey) (...) (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
