  Spinwheel revised
 
Hello! After I got some parts from Great Britain (Thanks!) I was able to re-build the old spinwheel in brown. While I was at it I eliminated all non-LEGO parts and rearranged it a bit. (URL) me, I'm a link!>> The old one was this: (URL) spinwheel>. (...) (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, FTX) ! 
 
  Re: Vikings?
 
(...) I see these sets and I think, gee, is Lego trying to keep up with Megabloks Dragon series? Then I think, HOOOO Doggies, TLG must have considered my letter to them about how to revive the Castle series by producing Castle sets of other (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.castle)

  Re: Vikings?
 
(...) And I'm not English speaking, so perhaps "Viking" in English do mean what you quote. But the term "Viking" in Danish mean the Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Icelandic seafaring PEOPLE of the 8th to 11th century, not just the few raiders. And (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Vikings?
 
(...) I'd say that definition is a bit 'narrow'. As far as we learn from *our* history books, 'Vikings' are the name given to almost all inhabitants in Norway, Denmark and Sweden (and later Iceland and Greenland), maybe excluding the northernmost (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Vikings?
 
Are you using the term Viking here where you should prehaps be using the term Norsemen ? I always thought that 'Viking' was a term for the Warriors. Various online encyclopaedias seem to agree with this.. (URL) for example. quote : The name Viking (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Vikings?
 
(...) While this IS the popular thought on Vikings, its not the historical correct one. The Vikings was first of all explorers, conquerors, farmers and merchants - exploring Russia, Iceland, Greenland, North America, and conquering England, Ireland (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.castle)

(...) William, This is nice, I highly approve of castles with ports. I didn't see any close ups of the stalls at the market, are there any? Thanks, George (20 years ago, 1-Feb-05, to lugnet.castle)

  Re: Post something 2 Castle!
 
(...) I think that's basicly what's happened. Most of the forum "noise" is over there. If you ask my opinion, the KK2 debate is a bit over-done there. Too many people take exception to the criticisms of the negative product concerns from the first (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: My Castle Project latest
 
Thanks Jon, that means a lot to me coming from you as it was my minifigs jelousy of your minifigs houses that pursuaded me to build a lot of the stuff I have in the first place :) Thanks (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: My Castle Project latest
 
Thanks Jason. The houses I've been boilding for a long time ever since first stealing .. err I mean being inspired by Jon Furmans creations. So each one tends to be a variation (and hopefully an improvement) of the last, then stick them nice and (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: My Castle Project latest
 
Thanks Jojo. Assuming I guess correclty what you mean by "enhanced set style", thats what I was after. I want it to have similar selective compression to a LEGO set. So even though its larger than a official set, the official sets wont look out of (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: My Castle Project latest
 
Thanks Matt you make some good points. I was a bit concerned about the front of the new building but when I added detailing to the windows it appeared to be overly heavy. I think maybe just adding detail to one or two of the windows may help lift it (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.castle)

  Re: My Castle Project latest
 
(...) James, As always, incredible work. I think if I were a minifig, this is where I would live. In fact my minifigs are jealous of your minifigs! Keep up the awesome work, I love seeing your stuff. I can't wait to see interiors as well. Jon (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.castle)
