| (...) Mwahahahaha! Fooled you. :) That's actually really simple--they're not at all connected. Since I build largely for the camera, things aren't always solid. The floor is actually a big wall of tan bricks that's been flopped over on its side. (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| Ken, Thanks for your thoughts. (...) Great, I hope to see you there! (...) I agree on both points. (...) Nice! I think a community display like this depends a lot on what sort of building people choose to bring. I don't want to be telling people (...) (20 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Yes, I meant the shape of the gateway. I like the tops of the walls. How can you have an inverse slope shortage when you have enough light grey to do all those walls? (...) Nah, I don't think matching is a good idea. I agree that a real city (...) (20 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | | Upcoming 8877 - return to the classic fold-out designs?
|
| I just had a peek at what is coming in the KK2 series for 2005, and it seems like the 8877 Vladek's Dark Castle is a return to the classic fold-out designs. At least there is no ugly raised baseplate, and the design looks highly modular. (URL) this (...) (20 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle)

I see what you mean on the arch/slope thing (at first I thought you meant along the tops of the walls, which I was pretty happy with, but I assume you mean the shape of the gateway). That comes out of a) inverse slope (...) (20 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| Very nice! I especially liked the flooring in the House of Healing -- set diagonally. I'd love to peek at how that was done. Keep up the great work! Joe (20 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Very nice work. The city gates are quite large and look like they could withstand some punishment. One nit, I don't think the arch & slope combination works, I think it would look better if you just went with slopes for the whole thing. The (...) (20 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
