| Now that is interesting. I also knew about the whitewashing, but had no idea about the heraldric colors. Might make for an interesting MOC...hmmm. Josh (19 years ago, 17-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Thanks! Funny you would want to ruin it with a ship (LOL). I considerd this for a while but it would have to be very small so as not to dwarf the dock and I am not as skilled as 'some' in that department...

| Interesting thread. I had heard of castles being "whitewashed" before but never the multicolor thing. Perhaps the KK2 are more historically accurate than many of us would like to think? I know for sure that there was a trend for a while to paint (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle)

It's an incredible MOC, very well integrated, how (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| [Exit Real-Life-Imposed Dim Age] Hey all. Been a long time since I posted in .castle. Back in the day, a few of you might recall, we had a series of discussions on facts and history that might influence our building. A few days ago I saw a program (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle)

Excellent attention to detail throughout. My personal favorites are (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

And of course the inclusion of all the little details like (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

I tried a blue roof originally (no pics unfortunately...) and it did look better on the building (as did taking away some yellow) but it made the pier loose influence on the whole MOC so I went for loud for the sake of the (...)
