Hey y'all, I've been pretty much caught-up in a frenzy of various things going-on in my life, so...hence the absence since July or August (not that anyone noticed...*sniffle*...the curse of being a former lurker). Anyway, I've got a swarm of new (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jan-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hey, Excedllent work. The detail is lovely. It is a little "potterish" for my taste but just jumps the hurdle into true castle : ) Thanks for sharing and God Bless, Nathan (20 years ago, 1-Jan-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Ha ha! I'd always wanted to do this sort of thinner slate-style of stonework (studs up or down). I'm glad to hear that it had the stealth effect I had hoped for. I like turning a concept on its head. (And, no it didn't have anything to do with (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jan-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

SNIPPY Hi Ley, I'm not a castle guy, but this MOC is really neat and appeals to me. I like the use of boat bottoms on the interior, the SOB makes the whole thing work out perfect! good job.
