Very cool! I like how you have combied the keep and gatehouse into one. This is something I think sort of happened in the later middle ages, but I hadn't seen any lego castle that used this design. Build on! Magnus (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Manfred, Thanks for finding these links! I really love these models, especially the Mont St. Michel and the pagodas, so it's great to see larger pictures and get some information. Without text, I had thought that this picture: (URL) was supposed (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hi Fritz, Wow. Great MOC. I especially like the light gray with sand green highlights color scheme you have, and the way you worked in the Harry Potter roof elements. I'd like to see some more photos. Bruce (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Felix, While I agree with your general premise, I disagree on your examples. I actually really dislike the black/light gray color scheme of Black Knight's Castle, and I dislike the dependence on panel walls and raised baseplate. OTOH, Border (...)

(...) The question is if they like this specific castle-on-drugs theme or if they'd like _any_ castle theme, such as the old-and-boring ;) gray (or yellow). I don't suggest a reply, I simply don't know. And I don't have the 'material' to test ;-) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle)

I think that the fact that kids love the sets is more a result of the theme of the sets rather than the quality of the sets. I think we can all agree that Castles and knights have a certain appeal to kids, especially those that gravitate towards (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle)
