| (...) There's several reasons I chose them, but the most important is that they give a much tighter curve than 1x3's. They also give a less "regular" appearance than 1x3 construction, where each round is aligned above or below each other. Finally, I (...) (18 years ago, 30-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Thanks Tony! (...) I somewhat agree, but I'm yet to find a technique that lets you do round portions of that size while keeping them "solid" looking. It's also very parts intensive - On 4 of the towers, easy layer uses 10 1x2's and 10 1x1 (...) (18 years ago, 30-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Glad you like the trees, right now I've only made them two sizes but the scale (...) (18 years ago, 30-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) This is an excellent model and was my vote for Best Castle at NWBC. The trees in front rock, too, and I am going to have to try and copy them. I handled the whole model more than I was supposed to I think, so sorry for breaking it so may (...) (18 years ago, 30-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

While I agree that a properly set up render could look excellent the problems with it are twofold: firstly the selection of minifig parts in CAD is very small and secondly with that much balancing there is no way people would (...)

| Hello! Hey, I like that. Hrm, actually I don't, because I don't like drugs. But its' well built. The futon (? the couch, divan, anyway) looks great, and the chinese topknot is very convincing. It seems like you knew what you were doing here. (In (...) (18 years ago, 28-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Good stuff! The queue and topknot are outstanding. I'm glad you're building in the brick, but this seems like one of those scenes that might look better rendered with smoke and shadows and whatnot. Photographed LEGO always looks as bright and (...)

| Sweeeet! The corner curved towers are what jump out at you, but the inner curved wall with the matching curved building atop is just brilliant. Lots of great details here, with the partially-submerged fin and the trail of blood in the water being my (...) (18 years ago, 27-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) My MOC was much smaller and used the combination of 1x1 rounds with 1x3 bricks to make a curved wall. John, was there a reason you chose the 1x2 bricks over the 1X3?

| Awesome work, you really have a fantastic attention to detail and to carefully placing every piece in your MOC. Making stuff look so effortless is anything but and you've done a great job here. Keep up the SNOT! (18 years ago, 26-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

I'm just not a fan of the 1x2 and 1x1 round brick combination, it (...) (18 years ago, 26-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
