  Re: My Display & MOCs -Finally Online!
 
(...) Thanks! I think it is my favorite of those I've made too. A number of friends have pointed out different things they liked about it. The most unexpected comment, perhaps, was one that thought the most realistic part was the bits of crumbling (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.loc.us.ma)
 
  Re: My Display & MOCs -Finally Online!
 
(...) Thanks. The real tragedy is that a few months after I built the model, it was torn apart to rebuild my Town. Thusly, except for the memories of my high school classmates, those pics are the only evidence of how it looked... =o -Hendo (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, lugnet.loc.us.ma)
 
  Re: My Display & MOCs -Finally Online!
 
(...) I like the globe theater. Very nice design. It's a shame you don't have a picture of the rear, it sounds very interesting. You town layout looks great. I'm sure it gets many an ooh and ahh, when people see it. -Jason (URL) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.us.ma)
 
  Re: My Display & MOCs -Finally Online!
 
I totally love the Bannenware tower/keep, it has the distinct look of continental European late medieval architecture. Is it modelled on a real castle? I've never really built much in that style, my castles tend to be more block like, and much wider (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.us.ma)
 
  Re: King Leo's Palace
 
(...) 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)
 
  Careful what you wish for: clone LOTR blocks sighted
 
(Note follow-ups.) I've seen a couple mentions recently on various newsgroups that Playmates Toys had a "construction toy" license for Lord of the Rings.

(...) Hendo, Nice castles, I'd love to see more details. The Globe Theater was great, too. And I liked the pics of the mini-fest. Thanks, George (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.us.ma)

Good Luck with the braces, I know they are spendy, I hope it doesn/t cut into the Lego Budget too badly. Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it a lot. I'm glad you liked it. This weekend I'll be posting the rest of the pics. I'd love to see (...) (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)

Leonard, Thanks for the compliments! I'm glad you enjoyed the castle. Thanks for posting, I appreciate the encouragement.

  Re: King Leo's Palace
 
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)

  Re: King Leo's Palace
 
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)

  Re: New MOC: Sorjin's Cloudship

  New MOC: Sorjin's Cloudship

  Re: King Leo's Palace
