(...) Sweet dude! I don't know about others who may or may not have read much Chekov or other Russian greats, but I think the Cold Winter's Knight rocks! I like that one better than the duck, and I like ducks! Great posture with the knight, he (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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)

(...) 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)
