(...) This castle is magnificient! Your daughter must really love it. For her to see the daily progress is probably just as much a treat as getting to play with a more finished structure. I am fascinated that it can fit both minifig scale and scala (...) (23 years ago, 10-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yep, Cinderalla's castle (or is it sleeping beauty? I've heard different versions) was greatly influenced by Neuschwanstein. Walt Disney apparently spent some time there and was inspired. Many parts of the interior were never furnished, (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

Beautiful! I really love the way it looks quite fairy tale like, but also very medieval. If it fits both minifigs AND scala, you really have quite a diverse project there. I like the cross shaped arrow slits too! Are those rubber bands you have (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)
