Here is my new MOC - a lighthouse that will be connected to the castle town of Blut'Ader. I wanted to create something small that wouldn't steal the thunder away from the city, yet fairly realistic. (URL) also included a little link section for (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build) !!

always, your stuff is so cool.. ive noticed a trend of seaside MOC's.. any reason? i like them anyways, especially how you do the waves and sea foam and stuff.. just the surrounding countryside in general is cool. -lenny (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) That's a fine looking little lighthouse. I especially like, for some odd reason, the rock base and sea foam details. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

Great job Pawel! I love the edited picture, makes it look all that more real. After looking at the real ones though, and then looking back, the only thing I would suggest is maybe make it a little taller? maybe it's just how they look in the pics (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks :) No reason - I didn't really think about it before now. I guess I like stuff by the water because you get a lot of variety that way. Having a stream flow by a MOC can really spice things up, PLUS, you figure that most people in the (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks. I notice that a lot of work can go into the landscape around the MOC, and it sets the tone nicely for the MOC itself. I usually don't have th patience for it though ... Must ... get ... to ... MOC ... instead :) -- Pawel (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yeah ... I've been thinking about that. I figured that a lighthouse itself probably doesn't need a defense system, but once I start builing the port and foundry around it, that's when some major defense mechanisms will start falling into (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks Jason! Yeah ... there was just something not right about them. In a weird way, I'm of the belief that every MOC is intended to come out in some way, and it's up to me to realize that potential. That's why projects take so long - there (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

Very nice job! I'm sure it will fit in very nicely with your other buildings. I really like how you added the water too. I'm interested in seeing your maps when you get those up. Also, thanks for the kind words and your lighthouse makes me want to (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

Well, be sure to let us know when your maps are ready. I'm also interested in seeing your keep. I'm currently working on another non-castle project that I might enter into the ISCC. I want to build some castle stuff, but I always end up going town (...) (23 years ago, 14-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)
