(...) 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)

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)
