| (...) To be more realistic I would think that a walled City would be packed with buildings as merchants would want the protection. So with that in mind I think the area inside the outer wall was much too big for the number of buildings that we had (...) (20 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Hi Bruce, Nice!! Fun to revisit your MOCs and see them all connected together. I hadn't noticed the square cups/glasses in the sushi bar before, they're great. As is everything. Thanks for sharing! Cyndi (20 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

The curved tan pieces that cover a 2x2 area right at the centre of your fountain, are they the standard 'well' pieces in tan? From some SW set you picked up for parts for (...)

| (...) Mmmmm ... cram. I'm in the "cram=twinkies" camp from my rec.arts.books.tolkien days, btw. Thanks for the compliment. Maybe I should do some LotR vignettes. I could surely turn those out more quickly than full chapters. Bruce (20 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

I think it's all due to very slight differences between the angle of the camera (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) 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)

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)

|
| 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)

| | | | | Re: Minas Tirith scenes

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)
| | | | | Re: Minas Tirith scenes

| (...) 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)
