| King Leo, sorely disappointed with the poor quality, shoddy workmanship, and overall unsafe conditions of his former castle (#6091), is proud to announce the completion of his new residence –The Royal Palace-.

| (...) Jon, I've only had about 5 minutes to browse this, and that's a far inadequate time to allow. So far, it's amazing, a great use of Leo's parts. I look forward to spending more time browsing your pics. Thanks, George (23 years ago, 5-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)

| Sweet! Looks awesome! I like how you got the "palace" look, how you made it look more than just a "castle", by building the keep so high and making it look so intricate. I've never really tried, but I can imagine it must be hard. The two flanking (...) (23 years ago, 10-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)

| Kerry, thanks for your post. To answer your questions, only 1 6091 is actually used in the royal palace. However there are two "Royal Jousts", and around 7 "guarded Treasuries" included in the set. The lack of Basic brick elements in these sets (...) (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) I know exactly what you mean about brick shortages cutting into your castle. I was never really satisfied with the curtain wall on my most recent castle (a bit smaller than yours). I xcan think of two doiable ways of "beefing up" the wall: (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)
| | | | | Re: King Leo's Palace

| It makes perfect sense Magnus, I'm inclined to try the incorporation of Dark grey first, as the curtain wall is made up of 2 wide bricks for the first several layers, then when the "window wall" bricks start, it goes to 1 wide, so the walls are (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)
