  Re: Yeah, I got on the vignette bandwagon...
 
(...) The mill is very nice, especially the duck. In the second one, you did a good job with the knight's posture conveying a sense of the cold winter wind - but a snow-covered landscape is pretty much inherently boring. Keep it up! Marc Nelson Jr. (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  Yeah, I got on the vignette bandwagon...

  Re: Castle Gate and Castle Corner Tower
 
(...) Jojo discovered them a few years ago (URL) the link to the picture is dead) Here's a pic (URL) one on the right is more rare. (...) My mistake, sort of. I had just been looking at the back of the wall, under the railing. Except for that one (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Castle Gate and Castle Corner Tower
 
(...) Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and especially that you liked the brick trees: I was, and am, very unsure of them. On one hand I like the "fullness" of them, but on the other I think they might be a bit too solid and blocky. Thanks again, (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  Re: Castle Gate and Castle Corner Tower
 
(...) Thanks Keith, I've thought about joining and posting on LUGNET for a while now, but never really got serious about it. Now I'm glad I have. Space is in the works next! - If you want a pic or two email me sometime. :-) John. (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  Re: Castle Gate and Castle Corner Tower
 
(...) Thanks! The gate was built over most of the summer, on and off. I put in lots of time, but it was spread in short bursts over the course of a couple months. It also involved quite a bit of waiting for the figures. (...) While making the (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  End of the Hunt
 
Hey All, I worked something up showing the end of BUB. Here are the deeplinks: (URL) (fuzzy Sad ) (URL) after moderation: (URL) you missed the thread that started this, see "Dragonsbane Hunt" Thanks! Josh PS. I also made another scene with this (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Castle Gate and Castle Corner Tower
 
(...) Thanks! I believe scenery is half the MOC! I agree that far too many castles "come right up out of the grass," and wanted to do something different. About the sizing of the wall: I tried to make it not overly huge, but a bit more realistically (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  Re: Castle Gate and Castle Corner Tower
 
(...) Thanks! It would indeed be too expensive to make a huge MOC with this design: Both the grey 2x2x3 slopes and the grey 1x2 tiles are fairly expensive parts in large quantities. (...) Unfortunately there isn't anything to see: It's just filled (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  Re: lattice windows
 
Hi Daan, (...) Well, it's mine :) (URL) used this technique for my Tonquedec castle. (...) I really like those windows. I tried also to use the 8x8 plate, but I didn't like the 2x2 square in the middle. You find a very good way to mask it. I hope (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)

Hello James Stacey, thanks for passing on the name of Kev Hall. I will try to find out if he is indeed 'my man'. If so, his name comes in the "readwindowslattice.txt". Thanks for the compliments. Daan Bargerbos ----- Original Message ----- From: (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)

Holy hello to you to Mike, thanks for your compliments. (from the time I was a kid I love the character of Batman, and being a minister in the Protestant Church in Holland I found the beginning of your post very amusing: "Holy Windows Batman!!!" (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: lattice windows
 
Hi Marc, thanks for the compliments (now there is even a 'bargerboswindow'...) I like your church very much. You've got to use a lot of brown tiles there. But it really gives a 'wooden' touch to it all. Also the cross on the tower is a nice touch. (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)

Snippage (...) Snippage (...) Snippage (...) Holy Windows Batman!!! I really like the two example above. Very nice hack. I find LEGO has such a limited selection of windows. I'll definitely add these to my tool box. THanks for posting. Mike (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: lattice windows
 
(...) Wow - Those are great windows! I had been using the 8x8 lattice for windows, but it never occured to me to put stained glass in them. What an improvement: (2 URLs) When (if) I ever get my (URL) church> finished, I will be sure to give you (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  Re: Castle Gate and Castle Corner Tower
 
(...) Excellent use of 75° slopes, nice stone buildup on the ground, full brick trees, a portcullis made of plates, only true grays and brown--the list goes on and on. These are some great castle MOC's. Keep up the good work and welcome to LUGNET! (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  Ballista
 
Hello all, I haven't posted in LUGNET for a while, but here is my latest MOC: (URL) It was inspired by Nathan Wells and his smaller ballista using the dino tails. Here is a link to the gallery: (URL) PLMKWYT! Chris Perron (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

  Re: New Vignettes - Princess Bride and the Matrix
 
(...) Wow, thanks for all those sources. Looking at the original Japanese inspiration, would it be too uncouth to refer to vignettes as the haiku of LEGO building? I really dig the simplicity of the building style, and absolutely how much (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)
