Hi all, In a discussion on Classic-Castle, Josh suggested that set 1971, Black Knight's Battering Ram, ""might be good for besieging chicken coops, that's about it." Hence this MOC: (URL) the chicken coop>. (URL) Fox design inspired by Anne Henmi (...) (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hey Aaron, I'd seen those ramps used as roofs before, as in Marc's MOC, but never in this application. Very clever and a nice design. I'm posting a quick note on this over on classic-castle as well. Bruce (20 years ago, 4-Dec-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

I just purchased 4776 from Toys R Us, and it has the same problem - the shields are simply black rather then printed like it shows on the box. I did buy the smaller Knight and Squire set at the same time. The shield in that set is printed. Thus, I'd (...) (20 years ago, 4-Dec-04, to lugnet.duplo, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego, FTX)

I picked up the 'Dragon Tower' Duplo Castle set (4776) today at LLCA and it is a very nice set. I was worried that I would not like them, that they would be "to MBish".
