Hey Nelson, This is a lot of fun--especially the bat chandalier. I also really like the detail you've added to the walls with the half-stud-offset columns. BTW, I've pointed to this (URL) on classic-castle>. Bruce (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hello! That's cool. Particularly the chalice is great. I wonder if I will be copying this design for some soccer trophy... Bye Jojo (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)

(...) No, I hadn't seen the Raven one before, but now I have. That one is just as nice. I rather liked how you changed his face in the final picture.

~NiCe! Well then, I’ll have to try that metallic wax-based stuff soon!!! Wax-based hun?!? It’ll be interesting to see how it adheres to the ABS, and if it smudges? Here’s my attempt at some realism in armor…with some paint-fading technique. (Please (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.minifigs, FTX)

(...) Good heavens, I'm glad you kept it! Poe's trowel is a quintessential element of foreshadowing in early American short-fiction. To omit it would be to lose an important artifact of Poe's work. Additionally, I like the creative way you overcame (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build, FTX)
